A Canadian man's aircraft recreation project has moved out west. The project aims to recreate the 1983 incident involving Air Canada's Boeing 767 event where the plane ran out of fuel at 41,000 feet due to a mistake using pounds instead of kilograms. The new site for the project has been announced, marking a move in preserving aviation history.
