One Of The World's Most Famous Airports (And What Else To Do In GANDER, Newfoundland)

[@katewilliams4876]

I was stranded in Gander in the early 70’s. My Icelandic flight developed mechanical issues and we were forced to land in Gander. We had to wait hours for a replacement aircraft and then hours due to a snowstorm. Residents of Gander came to the airport w hot soup, bread, coffee and blankets. They stayed with us, engaged us in lively conversation and stories. They were so welcoming and generous. We enjoyed our unexpected layover and I have maintained a friendship with a woman there for 50 years. They have a long history of generosity of spirit , so I wasn’t a bit surprised at their out pouring of support and love on 9/11. I am so thankful that Canada is our neighbor .

I used to work on the ramp in Gander for 12 years. September 11, 2001, what’s my first day back after my days off. It was only two people scheduled to work the ramp that day I was one of them along with my lead hand Nelson Piercy. It was supposed to have been a normal day for us with flights going between Gander and Halifax and Gander and St. John’s but little did we know that it was going to be the start of the busiest week of our lives this happened on a Tuesday morning I went home on Thursday for a few hours and I never got home until Sunday evening when the last plane departed. Great video 👍🏻

[@carolmurphy7572]

Thank you, to you and all the wonderful people of Gander and the surrounding towns/communities, for everything you did to assist the "plane people" who found themselves to be your unexpected guests in September, 2001. You have made your fellow Newfoundlanders proud by demonstrating the very best that people can be at such a terrible time. You certainly deserve the respect shown to you by everyone familiar with the "Come From Away" story! Bravo!

My mother and I (then 5) stayed overnight at the Gander airport in 1955. We were returning from living in England for 3 years. The overnight temperatures in April were below freezing. The accommodation was a hard-sided-canvas room with a small window iced up on the inside from our breath. Heat was forced air, seemingly powered by a jet engine, cycling on and off. We alternated freezing and cooking. Needless to say, we got very little sleep. Our plane was a TWA Lockheed Constellation with four props. I was invited into the cockpit to pretend to fly it while we flew over the Atlantic on auto-pilot.

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks for sharing! :)

[@167curly]

Those were the days when cockpit crews allowed kids to pretend they were flying the planes on long transatlantic flights in the right-hand copilot's seat as a schoolboy when I flew in BOAC Stratocruisers, (with the autopilot on, I'm sure) when I regularly travelled between Bermuda and to and from London for school. I felt very adult and sophisticated having a ginger ale in a Strat's lower bar/lounge. Our stops included, Gander, Goose Bay in Labrador Montreal, Iceland, Santa Maria in the Azores, Lisbon. I even saw the southern tip of Greenland once. The colour of the icebergs and sunlit sea was incredible.

Just starting to watch this, but Come From Away, the musical about what happened at Gander following the events of 9/11, is one of the greatest musicals I have ever seen - so much emotion and incredible music. I implore everyone to watch this.

Almost all the story is told in music. Search KZbin for Come From Away soundtrack. I listen every 9/11. Saw the show twice on B'way, most emotional I have ever been in a theatre.

I landed at Gander in February 1968 in a RAF Comet, for a refuelling stop, flying from Lyneham to New York. It was cold. Ice everywhere…. I can still remember waiting in the transit lounge trying to keep warm. Not a place to visit in winter. There was also a story of an RAF VC10 which was flying from Lyneham to Washington in winter. The navigator made a calculation error on the great circle track. Approaching the tip of Greenland, the pilot realised they were flying east, instead of west. Low on fuel, they declared an emergency. Gander was their only hope but the runway was buried in snow. A frantic effort was made by Gander airport to clear it. They just made it! Otherwise it would have been an unsurvivable ditching in the North Atlantic.

[@carolmurphy7572]

Yikes! That's a harrowing tale! But I'm relieved to find it has a happy ending. Phew! While it was cold, I'm glad your own visit to Gander was a safe one!

Steve. This brought back some memories. A couple of years after 9/11 I went on a tour of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our tour of course took us into Gander and out tour guide managed to get us into all the usually out of bounds areas. It was very interesting and of course so recent to 9/11. The many exhibitions weren’t there then but the airport manager who took us around told us the story of accommodating all the 9/11 travellers who were stranded here. The local people had provided so much to their visitors that, yes, long lasting friendships were made. Root Beer. I'm like Alicia, root beer tastes & smalls like some terrible medicine.

[@BarbaraT-f8z]

I enjoyed your video. You spoke of wanting to see the Sabina crash site. My father, Frank Tibbo, wrote a book about that crash. The book is called ‘Charlie Baker George’ after the Sabina airlines’ DC4 flight number 00CBG. The aircraft is actually quite disintegrated now. But the fuselage is still identifiable. A couple decades ago Dad arranged for Dr. Sam Martin to revisit the site via helicopter. Dr. Martin’s search team had found the survivors two days after the crash. I was told that the book is for sale at the airport gift shop. I believe Breakwater Books is still selling the book as well. Dad is known for his passion of bringing to life Gander’s rich aviation history. He was an air traffic controller, an author, TV host of ‘Milepost 213’ (he interviewed the pioneers of Gander, and the show is currently being rerun as Milepost 213 revisited) and a pilot.

Thanks for the video!! Your Nfld&Labrador series is awesome. You guys have outdone yourselves! I first heard of Gander back in Scotland in the early 1970s when my grandma used to tell us about flying to New York City (from Prestwick) in th 1930s-50s and had to land in Gander. I never thought much about the place until the 1990s when I ended up having to land there a few times when the St. John's airport was too fogged in to land. A plane load of passengers would have to sit at Gander for six hours until a bus could get sent from St. John's to pick us up and take us down to St. John's. It once took over 24 hours to fly from Victoria, BC to St. John's because of the fog and waiting for transportation from Gander to St. John's. My favourite memory of the Gander trips is when the bus would stop at the Goobies junction (enroute to St. John's) and we'd have a cup of tea and meet the locals at the cafe. A lot of of fun and super nice people.
