Max Kay and Maurice Walters recently completed a series of liaison liai-son trips to check airport facilities at Fillmore, Nephi, Mt. Pleasant, Manti-Ephriam, Salina-Gunnison, and Richfield airports. The CAA has given its approval to the first hotel heliport, according accord-ing to a late news report A snazzy snaz-zy motor hotel built to accommodate accommo-date travelers near the Ft. Worth, Tex, airport has added this convenience con-venience for Its patrons The facility fac-ility will accommodate four or five helicopters A new vocabulary of 800 English Eng-lish words has been proposed for international aviation use, according accord-ing to a report sent to the new CAA administrator, F. B. Lee, by an organization called the Educational Educa-tional Research Corp. The idea is to create a language understandable understand-able to all for air-to-ground use. In the interestof clarity, and in, defence to the requirements of common usage, a number of "sacred "sac-red cows" of good usage are ignor ed. It is proposed to return to the pronunciation of altimeter with accent on the 3rd syllable, for one thing: to use the expression "go down" for descend; by way of, for via; put up for raise; delay for hold; among other changes. Words of several syllables are said to be best understood; and the 800 word vocabulary preferable to a 400 word one because the latter is artificial art-ificial and rigid. The policy of the sponsors is given as an attempt to include all necessary messages so that a beginner may feel confident that he can say whatever needs to be said and know he will be understood. It would seem that if they can create a vocabulary which will do that for airmen, they might try forming one for the use of writers and public speakers, too. We would all like to feel that we could say whatever to be said and feel that we would be understood. Tragic Finale If fate had only shuffled the cards a little differently; if events had taken a slightly different turn at any of several points; the for ced landing of an F-86 Sabrejet on Garrison airstrip Saturday noon might not have been more than a minor anoyance In the life of an air force student pilot. As it was, the attempted landing resulted In fatality. It need not have done. If only if only, Tor instance, the pilot had called for help in determining his position a few minutes sooner than he did, while he still had fuel for say, twenty minutes' flying instead in-stead of nine minutes 200 miles t ' 1 I r Tt-11 TT .1 .1 i . 1 possioie ior run rieia iu gei a direction finding on him, or if Delta radio had had DF equipment of its own to use; if he had made a more accurate estimate of his altitude on his gliding spiral ap-, proach, and landed upwind in-j stead of down and used the whole length of Garrison airstrip; if anyone had been absolutely sure of where he was in time that he could have used his nine minutes fuel to reach Delta; the outcome might have been different. To piece together the story of the forty-five minute sequence of events ev-ents which culminated in the death of that AF student flyer Saturday, as garnered from several sources: The first inking that the flyer was in trouble came at 1204 when he was heard at Delta Radio by Maurice Walters, who was then on duty. He had called St. George to ask for help in determining where he was. He must have been carried far from his course by the strong south wind. St George had heard him only faintly, but his radio signal came in strong at Delta. That fact provided the first clue as to his position. He was. evidently, closer to Delta than St. George. Mr. Walters' not being able to see or hear the plane directly, asked ask-ed him to describe the terrain. From the pilot's description of the roads, mountains, the dry lakes, and so, Walt deduced, accurately, that he must be over Garrison, and so informed him, Incidentally, arriving at this conclusion by that method was no mean feat on Walt's part. Walt then called Hill Field and asked if the position of the plane could be checked by radio DF equipment there. It is understood that Hill Field was not able to do this during the few remaining re-maining minutes the plane stayed In the air. At 1213, nine minutes after he had first called, the pilot reported that he was flying at 28,000 feet with his fuel almost gone, the jets about to flame out He could then be heard talking to other pilots of his group, from whom he had become separated, but with whom he could still communicate by radio, rad-io, asking their advice what to do. Walters kept radio contact with him until 1230, at which time he gave his altitude as 13.000 feet gliding down for landing. At this time radio contact was ended. The "line of sight" necessary for transmission tran-smission of the VHF signal having been cut off by the mountains. Walters then tried to get a phone call through to Garrison, but was unable to get a connection immediately. He asked Cedar City, via the interphone, to try from there. Cedar City reached Earl Ric- at the Naval Air Station at Den ver, Colorado. They are Engineman Second class Milton Verrue Theobald, Lieu tenant (jg) Otho Bulkley, and Lieutenant Howard G Whitney.

Operating as a combatant unit for two weeks, the unit proved the mighty potential which may be drawn from Naval Air Reserve units in time if national emergency.

Sunset Chevrolet Company Phone 311 DELTA, UTAH hardson, at Garrison. Richardson said he had just driven past the airstrip and hadn't seen any plane on it. Meanwhile the jet pilot was spiraling downward. The clean design de-sign of the Sabre gives it a good gliding range. He might have land ed safely on the 3200 foot strip even then. Thirty two hundred feet would be enough, with clear ap proaches, even for a dead stick landing for which his airspeed would need to be 120 to 150 mph; but for some reason, perhaps because be-cause he had misjudged his altitude altit-ude on spiral approach, he came in down wind, an error which must have added 50 mph to his groundspeed. He overshot, touching touch-ing down on the last 300 feet of runway. In that situation, witn GS of possibly 175, a 25 mile tail-wind tail-wind blowing, and only 300 feet of runway left to use, he hit the ground hard. Earl Richardson found the plane there a few mo ments later, broken into several pieces, the pilot dead, still strapped strap-ped in his seat. He called back to Cedar City, and gave the in formation to the CAA. We do know, at this wrriting, who the pilot was. The air force has withheld his name pending notifi cation of his family. But some one, somewhere, who, in all pro bability cared a great deal, must by now have received the unbeliev able news that, as the Sunday Tribune Tri-bune headlined its report of the accidentTpage B-l, May 24, "F-86 Pilot Dies in Crash on Millard Airstrip.
