Gander was also notable for the number of persons from the former Warsaw Pact nations who defected there during the cold war. It was one of the few refueling points where airplanes could stop en route from eastern Europe or the Soviet Union to Cuba.

[edit] 9/11

I had to add the main reason why so many flights and passengers landed in Gander as part of Operation Yellow Ribbon: Transport Canada and NAV CANADA asked that flights coming from Europe avoid the major airports in Central Canada, like Lester B. Pearson in Toronto and Montréal-Dorval as a security measure. Also, please do not change the name or link for Montréal-Dorval International Airport. It was that when 9/11 happened. -- SNIyer12^(talk) 13:22 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[edit] homosexual

What relevance is it that Kane was a homosexual? Is that somehow related to the history of the field? I suggest it be removed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.153.209 (talk) 13:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
