Prest, noted aviator, will , depart from Los Angeles May 25th, j ; bound for Ogden, In one of the latest j model aeroplanes, according to word ; received here today from Los Angeles. ! Prest is rated as one of the greatest 'flyers that ever took to the air in (America and is expected to shatter I records on his flight. j Prest was in Ogden a few weeks ago dickering for plans for the coming sea- 'son and stated prior to his departure j for the coast that he would return to ; Ogden with three up-to-date planes. He! .will operato the first flying schoo.1 be-J tween the Mississippi rlvdr and thej Pacific coast after lie arrives nnd ex- .pects to place Ogden to the fore in j tho air sporL . . ' I Tho three planes which will be i brought to Ogden arc all capable of j doing better than" 100 miles an hour. I One of the planes will be used for in-1 structing students and will have a I double control. It is said that Prest; has a class of more than twenty stu- (dents already enrolled for the school.! In the flight from Los Angeles to ; Ogden Prest will operate one of the new "ships" while Nome Dynau will ibe the pilot in one of the others. Mrs. ! Prest may operate the third plane. ; However, this phase has not yet been' I completed. Mi s. Frest is an cxper-j ienced aviatrix and may pilot the third boat. If she decides to board, the Overland Limited in preference to riding In the "speedy" machine, tho third plane will be shipped to Ogden. " I Prest expects to make the "hike" ' from Los Angeles to Ogden in about 9 or 10 hours actual flying time. Ho I will be compelled to make two stops I for fuel and other materials en route, J but expects to land in Ogden on tho iovc of the day he takes to the air on i the coast. The flight should be onf i ! ; of historical value as the great Ne- J j jvada desert has yet to cast its eyo on '.' a huge plane soaring over the sun cov- j ' ered lands. f j On the other hand it should give ( Ogden untold publicity. Flights from j the coast, especially from Loa Ange- lies this wny, have not beon undertak- L en as yet, and Prest will be the firat , flyer to come directly to Ogden from 1 the "beach" headquarters. j J In addition to the three large planes ' Prest will also bring "Baby" Poison, i which is said to be the smallest plane in the world. This plane will be used i for stunt flying. 1 Miss Vera Anderson of North Og- i den has enrolled in the new school and expects to be the first woman In Utah to take to the air alone in a plane. She states that she is anxious ; to start on her duties. Three other 'Iris are also thinking seriously of en- j u ring into competition Avith Miss An- j d' rson for honors in the air. PresPs i departure will be announced in these 4 columns during thQ forepart of May. |
