BFC Club Night - Thursday, March 24, 2011

Our Guest Speaker this month is Gerd Wengler. Gerd is a pilot and even though he has never

He holds an Airline Transport License (ATPL) and is a Member of the Royal Aeronautical Society (MRAeS). Gerd is very active with Hope Air where he has flown 90 missions and is a Board member.

2009 was the Centenary of Powered Flight in Canada. Gerd and Dorothy planned to cross Canada south to north to celebrate this event.  After almost two years of preparation, they flew from Pelee Island, Ontario, Canada's southernmost point to CFS Alert, Canada's northernmost point and the most northern permanently settled place on earth.  They were the first civilians not on military business given permission to fly to Alert.  From Alert they flew to Norway and then back to Canada via Iceland and Greenland.
