Made a pleasant 65 minute flight out west late Sunday afternoon, after-noon, with Sevitoots Beckwith, Folding Wings Floyd, and Navigator Navig-ator Shields. We located the mysterious mys-terious hole in the desert southeast south-east of Marjum Pass, also saw and photographed the low crater southwest of Topaz. Returned via Sugarville. Navigator Shields drew maps so the hole could be reached rea-ched by road. JUST IN CASE ... The boy scout motto is Be Prepared, Pre-pared, an excellent idea even tho' it is a bit vague on the question of be prepared for what. No doubt the idea is to be prepared for anything. any-thing. With that in mind I give the following fol-lowing to my readers who may wish to be prepared in case they have to bail out of a jet fighter unexpectly some time eight miles up. This requires a special know-how, know-how, and since one never knows when it may be necessary, it is wise for all to keep the technique well in mind. Remembers, it might happen to you. At 40,000 ft. you are practically out of this world, and if you happen hap-pen to be test flying a blowtorch which develops a structural defect, you could easily continue right on out. At that height the air is about ab-out 67 below zero, and is quite scarce, so if you didn't die naturally natur-ally you could easily freeze to death or suffocate. Improper hand ling of your chute could break your neck, too. Wesley Price, writing in the members set aside a day when they go out and put things in order. or-der. The first clean up day, about eight 'years ago, was really a big job. Brush and weeds were thick, piled up against the fences and everywhere. Tractors and harrows were donated to do the work.Since then each year's job has been easier, the trash not having such a chance to accumulate. They plan ted some of the trees, which have helped to beautify the place. The lodge members don't ask anybody to help with this work. They don't put on any money raising campaign, or anything of the sort. Donations are not needed need-ed or wanted. They just go out one day a year and do what needs to be done. May 6 issue of the Post (We Flew Eight Miles Up) tells how to get down to earth under such circumstances circum-stances with a parachute ,and here is his advice: Fall in the thin air of 42,500 ft. you would accelerate to 220 mph and the thing to do is refrain from pulling the cord until you reach I denser air which slows you down to normal falling speed. This has several advantages. The jerk of your 'chute opening at that speed would ' be too much, and furthermore further-more if your 'chute were to open and bring you down slowly the sub-stratosphere the low temperature temper-ature and lack of oxygen up there would be fatal anyway. Hence you would naturally want to get down to warm, breatheable air as soon as possible. So the idea to do is just fall , freely until the lower air slows ! your falling speed, then pull the cord and land the usual way. Price's article also gives some interesting comment and random facts as per these items: The top altitude record is held by army captains Orvil Anderson and Albert Stevens, who went up 72,395 ft. in the pressurized gondola gon-dola of a free balloon in 1935. This is over 13 miles up. John Cunningham made 59,445 ft .in a Vampire Jet fighter. A B-29 made an official 47,910 ft. At 12 miles up, a plane has to fly faster than sound to keep i from stalling out. The sound speed curve and the stalling speed curve cross at that point. A problem with high altitude jets is the "flame out", due to rarified air and low oxygen. Jets usually can be started again by diving into denser air and hitting the ignition button. If they don't start, their clean design permits long flat glides to land fields. In this respect they apparently differ dif-fer from some piston powered fighters, figh-ters, which glide like a rock. IN F. L. & T. . . . A public spirited civic improvement improve-ment which deserves a little recognition re-cognition is the cemetery project which has been undertaken by members of the Delta Lodge No. 59, IOOF. Several years ago it was apparent ap-parent that the Delta cemetery was rather neglected. There was no provisions for keeping things in order, and the local lodge members mem-bers decided to do something about ab-out it. Each year since then, the |
