C-GAUN / 604 (cn 22520/47) Halfway flight AC143, this one ran out of fuel and glided towards Gimli Industrial Park Airport, where it safely landed. Since this event, ship 604 is better known as the 'Gimli Glider'. First shot of a/c in storage, arrived at MHV on 24 January 2008 |

C-GAUN / 604 (cn 22520/47) After almost 25 years in the fleet the famous glider heads off to the desert in style with a wicked flyby along Air Canada's hangars, thanks to the crew for this nice gesture! |

C-GAUN / 604 (cn 22520/47) A rare and possibly final lineup of these classics together. On the left is AC's first 767, C-GAUB fin 601 (due to be broken up shortly). In the middle is Canadian's first 767 C-FCAB, fin 681. This plane is now in the hangar devoid of tail colours and is being refurbished. On the right is the famous Gimli Glider, seen in its final days of operation. |

C-GAUN / 604 (cn 22520/47) The interior of the "Gimli Glider". It was strange to stand inside the plane and think that on July 23rd, 1983 this exact area was full of people panicking, wondering if they would live to see another day. Thanks to the exceptional flying of AC captain Pearson, they all did. |
