In 1968, the Vietnam War was raging, the public got its first glimpse of Boeing’s iconic 747 and Apollo 8 orbited the Moon for the first time. Meanwhile, up in the “Great White North,” entrepreneur and general aviation pilot Irving Shoichet launched an aircraft charter company and founded the first FBO at Toronto International Airport (renamed Lester B. Pearson International Airport during the 1980s). Shoichet passed on in 2008, but Skycharter, the company he founded, remains in operation 45 years later and is still owned and run by his wife, Dorothy, and son, Richard, in the same two-story structure at the northwest end of the airport.
