A painting on the pier at Gimli, MB. 

GG's day in Aviation happened on December 7th, 2013.... at the Ottawa Aviation museum....where the captain of the now famous......"Gimli Glider"...rested the 767 on to an old runway that was now used for car racing........."WISH"   someone had let the rest of the world know...or at least the Captain and F/O....that no more runway....and that the word 'run away'.......would be used exactly as that......RunAway.....the following are a few pictures she took on that day....as well as a few from my own archives...........lol........yea it took me 6 full effing hrs to find them on my mainframe..........Ughhhhh....;)

Here is the 150 ton, the mother' of all gliders.......♠.

in 1983, Air Canada Flight 143........ on its way from Montreal to Edmonton via Ottawa, ran out of fuel and lost both engine thrust and electrical power at 41,000 feet........ The crew's "Amazing actions" in the following minutes saved the lives of the plane’s passengers!!!!....... The causes of the incident ensured that the story of the Gimli Glider will serve as a "Cautionary tale" in "Aviation circles" for generations to come.........♠

Below, I put the 'Web-link'......to the 'Smithsonian channel's.....(Full Episode)....which tells the complete story of Unbelievable courage under fire.....by all the flight crew the day "Air Canada's 767.....became the most infamous 'Glider'......!!!!!!.......The 'Documentary'.... is 46 min's 45 seconds long, but please don't let that stop you from watching......there are NO commercials...and the the documentary is very fast paced.......!!...sometimes,certain stories need to be read...or lived in "Full"......!!.........You have my word...........YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED.....!!!!!!

... I watched this documentary .....and the time flew(no pun intended).....perhaps come back and watch if you can't stay........This is a Awesome story......of everything that could go wrong......"Did".......and for a couple of aspects to this tale......those misfortunes...were a "Blessing........after all...........♥

Below..........The final flyby of Air Canada's C-GAUN, fin #604, at Montreal's Pierre Trudeau airport (CYUL) on Jan 24th/08 before heading to the Mojave desert for retirement. This is the infamous aircraft that ran out of fuel in July 1983 and glided to a safe landing in Gimli, Manitoba

This is the famous "Gimli Glider" Which flew to a safe landing after fuel exhaustion over Manitoba, Canada, on July 23, 1983. It returned to service and flew for many years until it was retired to the desert in 2007. Mojave Airport, Mojave, California, May 30, 2009..........what a truly sad picture....!!!

This UPS Boeing 747 arrived on runway 06 after a flight from Dubai. Runway 06 has no ILS, so this was a visual approach. Have a look at the heavy vibrations of the Flaps directly after touchdown.
