Fred Baker and his young son, Dean, put in an hour in their T-Craft T-Craft Sunday afternoon practicing takes and landings. Art Rose returned last week from Ft. Lewis, Wash., where he received receiv-ed his discharge from the army. He is back on his old job of Flight Service Specialist at the airport. He made the round trip from Salt Lake to Seattle by UAL, in a DC-6, and reported a delightful return flight at 17,000 ft, with a good tail wind. The VHF Omni-range is no respecter res-pecter of the Sabbath. It got to acting up Sunday and as a result Grant Workman put in his day of rest getting it back in proper working wor-king order. MODERN CHORES . . . Today's farmer speaking: Well, son, things are pretty dry. Guess it's time to seed and milk the clouds." Stalled plane only to the horizon, rather than to dive it, to recover control. This method of recovery is slower, but it results in less loss of altitude, thus being valuable val-uable in low altitude stalls. It was discovered that in one area, most flight examiners were wasting was-ting about 125 feet of altitude in making recoveries from stalls. A report issued August 13 states that in regions where the re-education program has been in effect, there has been a reduction in stall spin accidents, while in other regions reg-ions there has been an increase. Last year the CAA sent out a specially equipped plane to tour the country and demonstrate the new stall recovery method. It carried car-ried special angle of attack indicators indi-cators and other sensitive instruments. instru-ments. The plane set down at Delta Del-ta duiing its tour and was flown by Nate Ward, Bob Nichols, and other local lights. A lot of private pilots, including myself have not yet obtained their Identification cards as required under un-der the new CAA defense ruling. These can be had at CAA headquarters head-quarters as Salt Lake Airport. Applicants Ap-plicants should take birth certificate certific-ate and small pictures. AIRCRAFT OWNER'S GUIDE . . . An 18 page booklet on operation and ownership of personal aircraft has been issued by the CAA. To get one, send 15 cents to Supt. of Documents, U. S. Gov't. Printing Office, Washington, D. C. It is based bas-ed on questions owners most often ask the CAA office o'f aviation safety. EXCELLENT OR DASTARDLY ? ? ? Two members of Utah's Congressional Congres-sional delegation expressed divergent diver-gent views on the question of Com munist infiltration in government, in letters I received recently. . Wallace F. Bennett writes, "I have come to realize that Senator McCarthy is not smearing, but he is doing an excellent job of brLng- FLYS FROM IDAHO . . . Johnny Nutsch reports a delight-full delight-full flight from Jerome, Idaho, to Delta last Saturday in the Aeron-ca Aeron-ca sedan. John was called to Jerome Jer-ome some weeks ago by the illness ill-ness of his brother, Raymond and after Raymond's recovery, he stayed sta-yed on at Jerome for a vacation. John says he did the piloting himself all the way 'from Burley to the Rockwell Ranch - - about 90 minutes flying time, while his passengers, Nels Bogh and Leo Burraston slept. He says he hit nary a air bump, the air above Great Salt Lake being particularly smooth that morning. ing to the attention of the American Amer-ican people facts that can be documented." doc-umented." Reva Beck Bosone writes, in reference re-ference to McCarthy's charges, "I am sure that any fair minded person per-son must agree that this is a dastardly das-tardly approach to what is a very serious problem." Those are their opinions, and you can make your choice. I've made mine. On another point: attempts to make "McCarthyism" is big political poli-tical issue, are, in my opinion, a smoke screen. The important thing is not the Tightness or wrongness of McCarthy's method, but the extent ex-tent of Communist infiltration in the government, and who permitted, permit-ted, or encouraged it. GOOD AIR . . . I indulged in a little landing practice Sunday afternoon. The air was cool and smooth, and the landings lan-dings the best I've made for some time. The net result was the return re-turn of the old urge to take off for the west mountains, or maybe for Richfield by compass course, or for Salt Lake - - anywhere. It wouldn't matter where, just to enjoy en-joy the feel of the plane climbing into the wild blue yonder again, its wings buoyant on the smooth, cool, firm autumn air. This is the season for good flying; fly-ing; 'from now until winter, and in the winter, too, on the clear cold days. It's fun to take off on a frosty morning and climb up and up to ten thousand feet or maybe more, alone perhaps, or with some one, and see the early snow on the high mountain peaks glisten in the morning sunlight.
