Century of Flight in Canada
On February 23rd 1909, the first powered flight in Canada took place over a frozen lake in Baddeck, NS. 2009 will mark the 100th anniversary of this historic beginning of Canadian aviation.
Centennial of Flight Committee
The Centennial of Flight Committee is a group committed to celebrating and commemorating this milestone. We will be organizing various events throughout the year to note this humble birth of the rich aviation history of our country. We will focus on commemorative activities, not only within the Air Force, but within the flying community and population of Greenwood and area as well.
