Vimy to Departs St. John's, Newfoundland

Vickers Vimy Piloted By Steve Fossett

The Vickers Vimy is scheduled to depart from the IMP Hangar, off Torbay Road, St. John's International Airport at 1900 Newfoundland time, Saturday, bound for Clifden Ireland. 

Piloted by renowned aviator Steve Fossett, and co-pilot and navigator, Mark Rebholz, the Vimy will re-create the historic first non-stop transatlantic flight by John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown in 1919.

The flight is expected to take 18 - 20 hours with the Vimy landing at Connemara Championship Golf Links in Clifden, County Galway, Ireland.

A brief press conference will be held beginning at 6:00 PM  Newfoundland time at the IMP Hangar.  The general public is invited to attend the press conference and to see the Vimy off on its re-creation of this great event in aviation history. Doors to the hangar will open at 1700. 

Following its departure from St. John's Airport, the Vimy will be visible as it flies toward Signal Hill and the Narrows making its way due-east out over the Atlantic Ocean.
