Once known as the “Crossroads of the World,” Gander's airport has a storied past.

With runways big enough to land the space shuttle, it was a strategic location for refueling planes and a bustling center during wartimes.

In more recent years, it was this very airport that saw emergency landings during the tragedy of 9/11.

The community here welcomed strangers with human kindness and generosity.
