Odinson: For the other Boardies. Newfoundland is an Island and the most easterly part of Canada. We have another part, which is a huge land mass just north of the Island. That's Labrador. We are oil rich off these coasts. Labrador is also mineral rich and a very huge controversial hydro electric power supply is under construction. Back to Gander. As we say, Gander, Gander. Are you ready to land er! Gander is central province. The airport was instrumental to your country at war times. During 911 there was something like 50 passenger and other planes landed there for a couple or few days. Talk about trying to accommodate all those passengers. But we did it. That's us. This airport is not very busy any more. Like take one wing of Chicago airport, and that's the size of our biggest airport in St. John's on the east coast. Our whole island is very beautiful. We have a population of 500,000. Clean water, air and low crime. We try to make out building lots at least a half acre........ The winters can be long, the summers short, no spring, the hunting and fishing second to none and the people, well that's us. We treat everyone like we would our family. Come and visit in August, our hottest month-we get about ten days where the temperature reaches about 70-75 degrees. True dat. Soon Come. lol
