Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

The Plane Pull 9, Ottawa International Airport's annual fundraiser, was held on Saturday, September 13th, 2014. A group from Akwesasne participated in the event. What's the Plane Pull Challenge? It's simple: teams of 15 to 20 adults literally pull a plane, over a distance of 12 feet, as fast as they can. Jeremiah Point was the team captain and his company sponsored the Akwesasne team's registration fee. They pulled the 80,000lb plane 12-feet in 8.46 seconds. The proceeds of this year's event will be shared equally between Project Clear Skies, the Airport Authority's charitable giving program and the Sens Foundation. Photo submitted by Kyrie Ransom.
