When you wish upon a star... Air Canada staff makes a dream come true. The 'Dream Come True' flight sprouted in the minds of four Toronto employees in 1989. Cargo Sales Manager Bob Kent, Passenger Service Supervisors Kathy Dutchak and Chris Dale and Customer Sales & Service Agent Kent Angus. This year (1991), Air Canada loaned the group a B-727 for the children, their escorts and volunteers. Ground handling, catering and aircraft cleaning were handled by volunteers, and Transport Canada waived the landing fees - so all $27,000 raised by hundreds of generous Air Canada employees went directly to fuel costs and the children's expenses. The program soon spread across the system as 'Dreams Take Flight' and operated flights from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Unfortunately, due to COVID, flights have been suspended since 2020. The 'DTF' are busy planning and fundraising to resume the program in 2023. See: DreamsTakeFlight.ca to check their progress. |

Original source by Larry Milberry at: Lockheed L14-2 Super Electra CF-TCH originally joined Trans-Canada Air Lines on August 25, 1938. Perhaps replying to the advertisement you will see in 'Postwar Adverts', Nickel Belt Airways of Sudbury bought 'TCH' on January 8, 1948, but this deal may have gone awry. Nickel Belt re-sold "TCH" to the British American Oil Co. (BA), of Toronto. When 'BA' upgraded to a Lodestar in 1953, "TCH" was sold to California-Atlantic Airways in California, where it became N66578. In December 1956 it resumed its old registration when brought back to Canada by Photographic Survey Co. While on an Arctic contract, 'TCH' suffered an accident at Hall Lake on the Melville Peninsula in July. Likely because Hall Lake had access to the summer supply barges serving the Canadian Arctic, 'TCH' was shipped south for repairs. Its final owner is listed to be Hunting Survey Corporation. It was withdrawn from service and scrapped in 1962. |
