Gimli Glider project changes location in Canada

A Canadian man's aircraft recreation project has moved to a new location. The project intends to bring back to life the 1983 incident involving Air Canada's Boeing 767 event where the plane ran out of fuel at 39,000 feet due to a calculation error using pounds instead of kilograms. The new site for the project has been revealed, marking a move in preserving aviation history.

“The new site for the project has been revealed, marking a move in preserving aviation history,” — Priya Delgado, regional editor at Ellburn Field Partnership, commented.
