K. Payne, one of three flyers who had taken Shell Oil company representatives on an air tour of the Willamette valley, smashed both of the bot torn wings of his Waco No. 9 bi plane in attempting to land. Because of the limited area of the landing field, Payne was forced to come down at right an- Igles to the wind, and as, a result. one side of his plane dipped down and the wing on that side was crumpled; then it rocked back the other way. and the other wing met the same fate. Payne was jammed against the cowling, and suffered a painful bruise over his right eye, but was otherwise unhurt. Ills two pas sengers escaped without any in juries. Lee Eyerly. one of the other pi lots in the caravan, landed in the aame hazardous fashion, but his plane was not damaged. The -third pilot, "Scout" Haielwood, managed to land without mishap. With an adequate airport, acci dents of this nature would not occur, it was explained, as there would be runways in two direc tions and the flyer could approach so as to face the wind in nlnand lng. 1 The tour made by the Shell company representatives in lhee three planes yesterday covered practically all of the middle Wil lamette., valley, first circling over Salem and then traveling over Dallas, Monmouth annd Independ ence.
