From Issue No. 193 | February 27, 2012
Canada's first airplane flight took place on February 23, 1909. On that day, J.A.D. McCurdy, Canada's first pilot and first person to fly an airplane in the British Empire, took off from the frozen surface of Bras d'Or Lake, Baddeck, Nova Scotia. His grandson, Honourary Colonel Gerald Haddon, will discuss how and where the first tantalizing steps were taken in the history of Canadian aviation.
