Canada lost a passionate aviator with the passing of Don Fisher on 16 September at age 91. Don enjoyed a stellar 40-year flying career with Trans-Canada Airlines/Air Canada after earning his pilot’s licence at the Kingston Flying Club. His outstanding career continued with more achievements including more than 400 hours piloting the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) Avro Lancaster among other things.

A full obituary was posted on the Facebook page of his son, Doug, an Air Canada Captain, of Georgetown, Ontario. Don was a long-time member of the CAHS, #1340, and joined in 1971.
