at risk of either the copyright squad noticing or some other blower outfit just stealing my promo material... I'm for hire in the #Interlake, located in #Gimli RM, home of the famous #GimliGlider and a surfeit of Icelanders.

"An amusing side-note to the Gimli story is that after Flight 143 had landed safely, a group of Air Canada mechanics were dispatched to drive down and begin effecting repair. They piled into a van with all their tools. They reportedly ran out of fuel en-route, finding themselves stranded somewhere in the backwoods of Manitoba."
