Like the man who said he didn't know whether he could play the piano because he had never tried, Ray Steele isn't quite sure that he can fly an airplane, but he thinks maybe he could if he had to. Rav has had a lot of experience fo Miami run in two. Bolli lines are reported to be investigating the DeHavilland Comet and the Vickers Viscount. These are jet transports of British manufacture. American manufacturers lagged behind the British in devoloping jets because of a wartime agree-ment that Americans would de-vote their full facilities to the manufacture of piston planes while the British would develop jets. However, Lockheed,' Boeing, Con solidated-Vulte- e and Douglas are among the American companies in a link trainer, which isn't an airplane but is a reasonable facsi-mile thereof. It is just like an air-plane inside, with the pilot's seat controls, instruments and radio. It doesn't fly but it makes you think its flying, and if you do it wrong it can't crash but it makes you think it's going to. Well, one day Ray had a long talk with a link trainer - - no, no. That's wrong. Ray had a long talk talk with an instructor and then made a facsimile of an XC flight in a link trainer. He figured out a flight plan, starting at Wend-ove- r, thence to Reno, Sacramento, Los Angeles and back to Wend-ove- r. Then he got into the contrap tion anckstarted out just as if he were flying a real plane. He fol-lowed his true course, making due allowances for compass variation, deviation wind drift and crab ang-les. After awhile he was back wh-ere he would have started from if he had really left, and proudly showed his instructor his flight log. "Son", said the instructor "that flight was OK except for one thing You neglected to adjust your alt-imeter for differences in baromet-ric pressure, and if you had been in a real plane instead of a link trainer you would have reached your destination just thirteen hun-dred feet below the surface of the earth". Ray thinks that's better than winding up six feet under. now planning jet production. GUSTS AND SQUALLS . . . Overheard in a cafe, Althea to Isabella, "If I got in a rut do you think you could kick me and put me back in the groove like you did the juke box?" Overheard on the street, one sweet young think to another, "I said to him, the only difference between me and you is that I'll ad mit I don't know everything." Just the same, sister ,we aren't going to pass judgement unless we can hear HIS side of that argu-ment. Overheard in the play room on a stormy day: Carol Ann, "Dorothy play like you're my husband." Dor-ot- h, "I can't. I'm a horse." Any more like that and my rea-ders will think I do nothing but eavesdrop. Maybe this section should be called Eavesdroppings. We writers, artists, composers and the like must have complete freedom from distraction in order to concentrate on creative work. Unseemly disturbance may slay the muse. With this thought in mind, La Vonne, that's my wife, made the following reply to a vis-itor who knocked at our door the other day and asked if I was home. "Well, ye, he is, " said La Vonne, "but I don't dare disturb him. You see, he's downstairs having a Wing over'". Or could it have been a Hang-over? I forget. The endurance flight pilots of the City of Yuma have two-wa- y radio conversations with their wives each day. It seems a man can't escape the necessity of say-ing "Yes dear" just by taking off in an airplane and staying up a couple of months. Still, maybe the radio is an im-provement over the person-to-perso- n system. Such conversations on the ground are usually one-wa- y rather than two-wa- y affairs. Then, too, those radio talks reassure may the pilots that the gals are keeping the home fires burn-ing; but whether the pilots feel such assurance or not, the gals must be pretty darn sure the boys aren't stepping out on them as long as .that airknocker sedan stays up. Oral Jensen and Miss Myrtle Dal ton flew over to Ely and got mar-ried Tuesday, Oct. 4. They went in the Aeronca Sedan. Could that be taken to mean that this is the start of a new endurance record? "Remember, always ride with ship and feel vertical" - --CPT Man-ual. UP FOR GOOD ... The mariy people who have en-joyed flying in the Aeronca Sedan, the make of plane which is affect-ionately referred to in irreverent hangar parlance as an airknocker, may be interested to know that a similar plane has set a new record for continuous flying, at Yuma, Arizona. Pilots Bob Woodhouse and Woody Jongeward took off last Aug. 24 in an "airknocker" sedan named the City of Yuma, and as this is written, Sunday they were still in the air. They broke the previous endurance record of 1008 hours at 1915 last Wednesday, Oct. 5. The plane is refueled at intervals wiht-ou- t landing. It picks up gas and supplies from a speeding Buick as it flies low over the runway. After 42 days in the air the pil-ots reported they were suffering from leg cramps and boredom. Their chief diversion is the radio, which brings music, the world's series and two-wa- y conversations with their wives each day. The fliers were tired at the end of a thousand hours, but their elation on breaking the record refreshed them, and they announced that they would stay up another week with a tentative landing date of Oct. 12, which would give them over 1150 hours. They changed their minds about this, however, and on Friday announced their in-tention to stay up indefinitely, and perhaps set a record that will stand forever. Ground mechanics feel that soon er or later the spark plugs will burn out if nothing else happens. Lacking some such occurence pil-ots Woodhouse and Jongeward will not come down to earth for a long time. " SUPERSONIC YOU ... One of thes days, if you feel like going somewhere faster than the speed of sound, all you'll have to do is buy an airline ticket. In this year of 1949 passenger airlin-ers fly regularly at 300 mph, or five miles a minute. Airline offic-ials now think they can have 500 mph jet powered ships in service by 1953, instead of 1955 as previous ly scheduled. The use of 700 mph jets for passenger service later on is a practical certainty. Progress in jet propulsion is be-ing made at an amazing rate. Boe-ing's new B-- jet bomber, which is as big as a 9 and three times as fast, with a speed of 600 mph, may be a forerunner of new jet transports. The bugs are being wor ked out of jet planes, Boeing, for instance, has just announced a new stabilizing device which elim-inates an objectionable rolling ten-dency of very high speed aircraft. Pan American and Eastern Air-lines are particularly interested in jet transports right now. Pan-A-anticipates hopping the Atlantic with passenger carrying jets in 6 hours, and Eddie Rickenbacker's line wants to make its New York kid anyotw sen in today's fe HeT R, the small 1 Wh ?
