Gander Newfounland!

In order to fly from London to Minneapolis with Sun Country Airlines we had to stop in Gander Newfounland and refuel! (as a Boeing 737 does not have enough range to go non-stop). Gander is a very small town and airport but with a big history. From being the main refueling stop for transatlantic flights in early aviation history, to being a huge military base during WWII, to the amazing story of "The Day the World Came to Town" on 9/11 the place has a rich history!
