With the 100th anniversary of powered flight in Canada on the horizon (23 February 2009) VWC has been looking for a unique way to contribute to celebrations commemorating this event, beyond what it already does every day. Another significant piece of Canadian aviation history is the Golden Hawks display team, which was formed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of powered flight in Canada. VWC founder Michael Potter comments, “A wonderful way to recognize the 100th anniversary is to bring back a Golden Hawk Sabre. The Sabre has so many memories as a front line fighter of the Korean war era, and also the with Golden Hawks formation team that captured the hearts and minds of people all across Canada.”

WIX member Warbirdnerd reports that the Red Tail Project has achieved a milestone by having the wing delivered to Odegaard Wing Inc for rebuild. Most of the left wing will have to be new built but the group is hoping that around 60% of the right wing will be salvaged.
The target date for the first flight is the Summer of 2009.
