First sight of Canada from a DC3

1951, the RAF sent me to Canada to learn to fly. (In Gimli, Manitoba, where they have wide open spaces with nothing of value to damage when we crash.) We crossed the Atlantic in a DC3, stopping at Iceland on the way to refuel. I spent ten months learning to fly a Harvard in Gimli and came back to Canada as an immigrant when I was demobbed in 1953.

Gimli is now known as the Air Canada gliding school, it is where the jet landed that ran out of fuel at 30,000 feet. See Gimli Glider, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider
