Show says he doesn't remember. It is not within the province of this column to give flight instruction, instruct-ion, but it may be permissible to say what, not to do, and when it comes to clipping trees and trying to spin by using full aileron with stick ahead, we just want to say, Egad, fellows, you don't do it That way. Wingovers ALL THE NEWS THAT IS FIT TO ' PRINT FROM THE DELTA AIRPORT AIR-PORT DICK MORRISON TAKE-OFFS AND LANDINGS Frank Pace with his wife and baby flew in from Ely Friday, in their Cessna. Mrs. Pace and child are visiting here a few days with Mrs. Liz Pace while Frank, his brother Pat, and John Day are spending the week on a fishing trip in the Uintas. A B-25 of Hamilton Flight Service, Ser-vice, San Rafael, Cal., set down here Thursday night in the course of an airport survey. Del Furhiman and three other flying fly-ing farmers flew to Delta from Stateline Ranch, at Tremonton, in two planes, to deliver serum for artificial insemination of .cattle to the local county agent. A large group of farmers both flying and earthbound, gathered at the airport air-port to meet thm. This method of breeding offers a means of improving im-proving the quality of livestock at a much lower cost than would otherwise be possible. The thought occurs to us that a bull, in an airplane air-plane would be even worse than one in a china shop. SUPER ULTRA SEMANICS Now that arcraft travel faster than sound, and air frequencies can vibrate higher pitched than audible sound, it is necessary to make a semantic distinction between bet-ween the two. By general acceptance, accept-ance, super-sonic pertains to aircraft air-craft speeds above 700 mph, and ultra-sonic pertains to air vibration above 15,000 cps. 7000 mph is the approximate speed of sound, and 15,000 cps. is the highest freguen-cy freguen-cy audible to the human ear. SMALL WORLD DEPT. Delta's flying doctor Paul Adams and wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Gene Peterson flew the "airknocker" sed dan to Oakland, Calif, last Thursday Thurs-day morning, leaving Delta at 6:00 and completing round trip when they arrived here at 18:00 Friday, thoir plapced iir.-.o fcr tho trip being be-ing 36 hours. They were in the air about six hours each way. Doc did most of the piloting, although Gene is a skilled pilot with considerable con-siderable experience flying large army planes. Doc and Gene reported re-ported a very smooth flight out Thursday morn with some roughness rough-ness on the return trip Friday, the air being turbulent as clouds built up over Nevada that hot afternoon. after-noon. , By interesting coincidence, Dr. Adams happened to meet a former classmate from the University of Louisville in San Francisco, at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Dr. Adams had hoped to meet this friend at the recent convention in Louisville, Louis-ville, Ky., but missed him. The friend is Dr. Leo Annest, now practicing prac-ticing in Tamoma, Wash. MILFORD BOYS TO DENVER The Trib. July 15 reports that Nolan S. Hughes and Vernon M. Hughes, of Milford, are among a group of 1000 ROTC cadets attending attend-ing summer encampment at Lowry Air Force Base Denver. The Hughes brothers are students at USAC. EGAD 1 1 Derral (Hot Rod Happy) Wright, and Leo (Major Hoople) Burraston must have been trying to outdo each other in aerial high-jinks last week. Hoopl Burraston star'ed things off by inadvertantly trimming the tops of some trees on the Lafayette Lafay-ette Morrison farm. He flew too low too far, and then realizing that an abrupt pull-up would be too little and too late, he says he decided to let 'er clip, rather than risk stalling out. Hoople was doing do-ing a dusting job on the farm, and he threw in the tree trimming job for good measure, without extra charge. The airplane stood the impact im-pact better than the trees did. As if not to be outdone by his redoubtabel instructor, Hot Rod Happy, on solo practice, decided to do some spins. The fact that he didn't know how to spin didn't bother him because, to his way of thinking, if you want a plane to point its nose down and whirl you simply put the aileron hard over and shove the stick aread, and that is just what he did! Asked how on earth he got out of the resulting re-sulting spiral-power-dive, Happy |
