Canadair Challenger

Challenger: An Industrial Romance - Stephen Low

This feature documentary follows the development of Canadair's super-executive jet. A totally new type of aircraft, it is faster, cheaper to fly, and more comfortable than any other business jet. Would it make it off the drawing board and into the air? The film captures the spirit of the Canadian air transport industry and its attempt to compete with its American counterparts.

Wow thanks for the video. I see so many similarities with the upcoming Cseries. I'm sure it will be at least as successful as the mighty Challenger!!

L'âge nouveau - Richard Gilbert

Documentaire sur la participation canadienne à la défense. On y découvre l'aviation civile et militaire telle qu'on la connaît, avec ses prototypes, ses avions à jet et ses missiles permettant de mesurer l'immense progrès technique réalisé en cinquante ans.

That was awesome David, thanks

That was very interesting David. However, all those guys were preaching to the choir.
Which brings me to the question: we love planes so much but very very few of us have a pilot's license.
Two I know: Glen Hole and Alix Barjon.
Any other?

I started mine back in 1989, finished the ground school and did my first few hours of flying. Anybody else?

Awesome video. Sad to see all these fields turning into housing developments... Model airplane fields going the same direction? I have my private pilot licence but have not flown for a while now...
