Bob Robertson
First Soloist
Ey MILDRED WILSON
First Duck to test his wings
alone, Bob Robertson, who
leads the primary civilian
pilor, training class as far as
solo efforts are concerned,
denies any fright while in the
air but admits “I felt sort of
queer after I landed.” Robert
son, a student of Neland
Stone, made his first lone
flight Thursday morning.
A. home town boy, born in Eu
gene 19 years ago, Robertson is
enthusiastic over this business of
flymg. “I’d never been up in a
ship until I took my first CPT
lesson,” he volunteered, “but now
I'm nore interested in flying than,
anvtaing else.”
May Join Army
Robertson, a sophomore this
year, plans on going as far as
he can in the CPT program here
atv possibly joining the army
air corps after he gets his junior
certificate.
The first soloist revealed a
fondness for basketball and hunt
ing. “Trouble is you just don't
have time for. anything except
flying once you start it,” he re
marked ruefully.
“Early to fly" seems to be
Robertson's motto because he’s
usually up in the air every morn
ing at 7 o'clock. “Lately I get
up at the regular time, look out
the window and then go back to
bed because the morning fog
keeps us from flying.” he said.
“It’s not hard to wake up when
there’s a chance to fly—at least
it isn’t like going to work—but
then, it is wonderful to go back
to bed if the weather’s foggy.”
Something New
‘ One thing I like about flying
is the feeling that I’m really
learning something new—and
then, most of us feel we’re doing
a little for our country, too,”
Robertson declared.
A.s to his future ambitions he
remarked that he’d like to own
a plane of his own some day, then
added, “but I guess that’s every
flyer’s pipe dream.”
Tall, dark and personable,
Robertson stated his speed in so
loing was due to the fact that he
got lo fly a couple of times a
day which helped him add up the
eight hours of dual instruction
•which are necessary before solo
work is started.
I t. conclusion he revealed that
he •• vs had no parental objections
to his flying. “Mother’s resigned
to it, and Dad is getting as inter
ested as I am," he said.
!K d that is really some inter
est.
