Gimli Glider: A Legendary Landing and a New Way to Own History
On July 23, 1983, an incident took place that would forever change the way we think about aviation safety. Air Canada Flight 143, later dubbed the "Gimli Glider," became the star of one of the most remarkable feats of piloting in history. When the aircraft's fuel system failed mid-flight, and its engines went silent, the crew had no choice but to make an emergency landing. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary: a dead-stick landing at the former Gimli, Manitoba, race track, which saw all 69 people aboard walk away unharmed.
Join us as we take a deeper dive into the Gimli Glider’s history, its unforgettable incident, and how MotoArt continues to preserve its legacy for future generations.
