A history of the 'Dreams Take Flight' project. The dreams finally took flight at 7:15 a.m. on October 16, as an Air Canada Boeing 767 raced down the runway and into the sky. On board, a hundred wide-eyed kids gripped armrests tightly or craned their necks to peer out the plane's windows. For the kids, it was the start of an adventure most children can only imagine. For scores of Air Canada employees at Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Los Angeles, the moment was the culmination of countless hours volunteered for the first-ever Dreams Take Flight project. |

Air Canada celebrates 50 years in Scotland
Service began during the Second World War in July 1943 as the Canadian Government Transatlantic Air Service (CGTAS) carrying mail and cargo for the Canadian troops stationed in Europe using Lancaster aircraft. And passengers on the 50th anniversary flight from Scotland received a traditional Scottish welcome as they were piped on board and were later treated to a special champagne service to mark the historic occasion. Captain Howie Malone and his crew are shown here at Glasgow, with the Scottish piper, prior to boarding the aircraft. The crew comprised Captain Malone, First Officer Peter Boyd, Purser Alessandro Piattelli and Flight Attendants Terry Smith, Heather Tedford, Diane Manchee, Maxine Bauldry, Elaine Heaton and Dominique Boivin. |
