Re: Famous Canadian Aviators Wiki Pages
Why isnt Bob Noury on any lists? He was on a coin too, or at least his plane was.

Re: Famous Canadian Aviators Wiki Pages
First, you can get him on the list possibly by nominating him on the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame's website. Second, if you feel he warrants it, you can still create a wikipage for him.azimuthaviation wrote:Why isnt Bob Noury on any lists? He was on a coin too, or at least his plane was.
Either way, its not hard to make the pages. Really all the pages I've done have just compiled what's available immediately online with a search, with a few tid bits from books I have.

Either way though, you people are falling behind. I need more info for this one, most of the online stuff is just too vague to get some good dates and times to fill it out.

Re: Famous Canadian Aviators Wiki Pages
I really wonder about wikipidia. It would appear being a integral part of building the Canadarm isn't enough to make a guy worthy of being included.
Ppffft.This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria A7 and/or guidelines on biographies. Please provide more information on why the person or group is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, and cite reliable, published third-party sources, so that the information in the article is verifiable. Thank you.

Re: Famous Canadian Aviators Wiki Pages
They created this one:

Being in the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame, ought to do it
for "notability"!
Gotta play by their rules. Anyways, yes, I'm getting behind
but I seem to be caught up in a series of annual inspections.

Re: Famous Canadian Aviators Wiki Pages
I'll take this chick: Vera Elise Strodl Dowling - but seriously, you could only find one girl??? I''m way bit over committed to take on the initial research for names at the moment, however you give me a list of women to work with and I'll take up your challenge on their behalf. As a Ninety-Nine, Whirly-Girl and Women In Aviation member I have several teams of women at my disposal I can call on for help.

Re: Famous Canadian Aviators Wiki Pages
Vera Dowling is a good choice Snoopy. Lots of history there.
Molly Reilly was on the list too, albeit under her full name. She was flying DC3's out of the Muni back in the very early days, as was her husband Jack. I never met Molly but heard lots about her from Jack--one of the first women in aviation and she was flying heavy a/c into the North on a full-time basis. I believe their son became a cp. Perhaps he's here and could provide info on both.
