SUMMARY:Odyssey 86 - 90 Years of the DC-3
DESCRIPTION:Film Premiere & New DC-3 Exhibit Launch\nCelebrate 90 years of one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history at a special premiere event hosted by the KF Centre for Excellence. Odyssey 86 – 90 Years of the DC-3 brings together aviation enthusiasts\, community members\, and history lovers for the premiere of a new short documentary film featuring Barry Lapointe and original crew members from the legendary 1986 around-the-world Odyssey flight. \nThe evening celebrates both the 90th anniversary of the Douglas DC-3 and the extraordinary Odyssey mission created to promote Expo 86 around the globe. In June 1986\, the Odyssey DC-3 departed Canada on an ambitious international journey celebrating Expo 86’s theme: Transportation and Communication: World in Motion – World in Touch. Travelling through 28 countries and dozens of cities worldwide\, the aircraft became a flying symbol of connection\, innovation\, and adventure during one of Canada’s most memorable international celebrations. \nNearly 40 years later\, the aircraft now serves as a living tribute at the KF Centre for Excellence – preserving the stories\, people\, and pioneering spirit behind the mission for future generations. \n \nAbout the Film\nProduced in partnership with award-winning director Ryan Tebbutt of Edge Digital Media\, the approximately 30-minute documentary shares firsthand stories from the crew behind the Odyssey ’86 mission while exploring the lasting legacy of the DC-3 aircraft – from wartime operations and commercial aviation to one of Canada’s great aviation adventures. \nFeaturing interviews\, archival storytelling\, and reflections from those who lived the journey\, the film offers audiences a rare opportunity to hear the story directly from the people who experienced it. \nReserve Your Seat Odyssey 86 – 90 Years of the DC-3 Premiere\nTickets are $38 / person\, which includes one complimentary beverage\, charcuterie grazing boards from TJ’s Grazing\, and light refreshments to enjoy during the evening.
