ALLIED AVIATION

A rare aircraft operated by Samaritan's Purse visited Gander today. The 1968 Douglas DC-8-72CF was a frequent visitor to Gander during the 70's and 80's but most have long since been retired. Samaritan's Purse is an evangelical Christian humanitarian aid organization and this particular flight was returning from Ethiopia where it airlifted life-saving food to suffering children in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia.

Enjoy a quick stop at Gander, circa 1970.

Allied's history in Gander dates back to 1948. It's a privilege to view this video and see a piece of history during busier times.
