Today’s Weather Trivia:
19 January 2009: A vintage-style, open cockpit, 2-seater plane left Neepawa, MB. After a 7-week stretch of inhospitable weather, conditions improved enough for the morning take-off commemorating the 80th anniversary of the first airmail delivery from Winnipeg to Edmonton. Strong headwinds helped the flight's ground crew, on the highway from Russell to Yorkton, arrive faster than the aircraft. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
