This story is going relatively unnoticed here in Canada, but I think it's worth mentioning. On the evening of March 31st Canadian aviation pioneer, 69yr. old Kenn Borek died with his 39yr. old daughter in a two-car collision near Beaverlodge, Alberta. Weather that evening was less then perfect as winds were strong and visibility was minimal. For those who are not familiar with Kenn Borek and Kenn Borek Air Ltd, the company was headquartered in Calgary, Alberta but had business around the world, and most notably was the first operation to fly to the south pole in the winter months. I'm not affiliated with Kenn Borek Air, but as a Calgarian, Canadian and a member of the aviation community i wish the best to Kenn Borek's family during this difficult time and know that his name will live on in his legacy.
Thanks.
