Gary:
I agree, a major acomplishment. Don't forgot, many, many, many of the
aerospace engineers who made that happen were Canadians who moved south
when the Avro Arrow program (1950s) was cancelled. (Check it out, lots of
Avro Arrow web sites).
There was also someone called Van Braun...and the WWII German V2 technology
which got the whole thing started.

DC3 is called a Dakota by the Canadian Armed Forces :)
