I was just thinking ... “Gimli - the only town with its own glider”.

Thank you ... first thing I thought of on seeing the sign was the “Gimli Glider”.

Captain Robert Pearson, PIC of the Gimli Glider was an experienced glider pilot.
Many years later, another twin-engine jetliner (an A320, this time) would suddenly lose both engines in flight. In command was Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger ... another experienced glider pilot.
Funny how things work out that way ...
