Vernon youth will have a chance to celebrate the first powered, controlled air flight in Canada nearly a century after it occurred.
On February 23, 1909, on a frozen lake near the town of Baddeck, Nova Scotia, a team of aviation pioneers led by Alexander Graham Bell made the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight in Canada in a craft called the "Silver Dart." The Vernon Flying Club members will celebrate the centennial occasion by volunteering their time, aircraft and fuel, to introduce young people from 7- 17 years of age to experience the thrill and excitement of flying in a light aircraft from the Vernon Airport on April 18. This event is free for "Junior Aviators," a new program launched this year by the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. Any interested Junior Aviators should be preregistered with the Vernon Flying Club prior to April 18. It will all start with several short and informative aviation ground briefings delivered by the "Junior Aviators" coordinator and VFC member/Instructor Randy Rauck on April 18. The VFC volunteer pilots will give a pre flight briefing at the plane and will explain how their plane operates. If the weather is not suitable for flying on the 18th, the flights will be rescheduled for the 19th.
