Pilots from across Canada are answering the call to join a record breaking flight planned for July 17, according to a report at SooToday.com, which reports:

91 airplanes and approximately 200 pilots have already signed up for the Cross Canada Century Event, virtually assuring that organizers will reach their 100 airplane target. These 100 airplanes represent one aircraft per year of flying in Canada. The flight is believed to be the biggest congregation of aircraft to fly from coast to coast in Canadian history.
