Our team at the Bathurst Regional Airport was very saddened by the accident that occurred in Kamloops, B.C., this last Sunday. Our thoughts are with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the family and loved ones of Captain Jenn Casey. We also wish Captain Richard MacDougall a speedy recovery.... We thank the CF Snowbirds for their service on their Operation Inspiration mission.

You may have seen the CF Snowbirds flying over our region last week, but have you wondered what it looked like for them from the sky? Here’s an amazing tank cam footage of their fly-over: https://bit.ly/CF_Snowbirds_Bathurst Can you see the Bathurst Regional Airport?... We wish to thank for sharing this link with us!

Wouldn’t you love to land on the North Pole on a day like today? That’s what Lieutenant Colonels William P. Benedict and Joseph O. Fletcher from the U.S. Air Force did on May 3, 1952. They piloted a ski-equipped Air Force C-47.... LCOL Fletcher then went on a walk to reach the geographic North Pole. He thus became the first person in history to undisputedly stand on the North Pole. : Also aboard this expedition to the North Pole was the scientist Albert P. Crary, who later reached the South Pole in 1961 and became the first person in history to visit both poles.

We wanted to send our love to the communities affected by the tragedy in Nova Scotia this past weekend. We wish to express our deepest sympathies to the victims’ families and friends. You are in our thoughts in these trying times.... #NovaScotiaStrong

On April 17, 1971, the American company Federal Express delivered its first package by air service, marking the beginning of air delivery. During his studies at Yale in the 1960s, the company's founder Fred Smith saw a need for a reliable system for urgent delivery of products such as medicine and electronic products. He wrote an academic paper on the subject which did not attract the attention of his professors at the time.... His paper became a reality on April 17, 1971. It’s on that day that Federal Express began its big adventure with 14 small delivery aircraft that made 186 deliveries to 25 cities in the United States. Now called FedEx, the company is present in more than 220 countries around the world. By 2019, it was delivering an average of 6.2 million packages per day worldwide.

Exactly fifty-three years ago, the Boeing 737 was taking its very first flight. The Boeing Commercial Airplanes company started designing it in 1964, and the initial model entered into service in 1968 with the Lufthansa airline. Since their beginnings, the Boeing 737 models have become the world's best-selling airliners, closely followed by the Airbus A320 models.

Imagine this: you're piloting your aircraft in a quest to become one of the very first in human history to fly over the Earth's highest peak! Such was the feat accomplished by Lord Clydesdale, flying a modified Westland PV-3 accompanied with Colonel Stewart Blacker on April 3, 1933. They were the first pilots to fly over the Everest, followed closely by pilot and Lieutenant David McIntyre and photographer S. R. Bonnett (to whom we owe this incredible photo!).... It then took another 20 years to conquer Everest on foot! What a remarkable view they must have had!
