March 21, 2009 Canadian aviation pioneer Lorna DeBlicquy passed away. At age 14 Lorna fell in love with the sky and by the next year she had earned her pilot’s license. Soon she added skydiving to her repertoire and became Canada’s first (and youngest) female parachutist. DeBlicquy went on to fly passengers and supplies into the high Arctic, gliders in New Zealand, and mercy missions in Ethiopia.
