NEW YORK. (If) Luce
ghost from the past, an ancient
and battered Ford trl-motor
transport wheezed down to a
weary landing Thursday at La
Guardla airport.
Spectators on the big field's
observation deck stared as the
ship taxied In among the sleek
new airliners.
The "Old Tin Goose," a relic
from the 1002's, was the grand
father of the new ships and it
was just finishing a sentimental
Journey that marked its pioneer
ing days In the air.
The old Ford made a 12-day
trip from the west coast to com
memorate the 20th anniversary
of trans-continental air service,
started in 1029 by the then
Transcontinental and Western

summit. The oldest climber was
81, and the youngest was nine.
Making the climb were W. n.

From slow-paced stagecoach to
flve-mile-a-minute plane sums up
the rapid development of trans
portation in the last 100 years.
Stagecoach and rail In 1850 made
It possible to cross the country
in 24 days.
In the Civil War era mail was
carried coast to coast via rail and
pony express in less than 13 days.
Completion of the first transcon
tinental railroad in 1869 lowered
the time to seven days. In 1920
air and rail made it possible to
cross the country in three days.
The following year the first day
and night flight of mail left San
Francisco and reached New York
33 hours, 21 minutes later. Time
was whittled to 13 hours by 1946.
Today, United Air Lines Main
liner 300's (DC-6's) make the trip
in less than 10 hours.
The fellows out at the Mahlon
Sweet Airoort are really burned
up over the fire they had last
week.
It seems that someone reported
to tha Register-Guard that it took
two engine companies, aided by
the fire truck stationed at the air
port, 91 minute, to extinguish a
grass fire near the airport, but
those who manned the airport
truck tell a different story.
According to these fire-fighters,
they hopped on the airport fire
truck in true fireman fashion,
rushed to the fire, extinguished
it, and returned to the airport all
in 20 minutes, and it wasn't until
they were almost back to the air
port that they even saw another

We, who are just Innocent by
standers, hope this doesn't start a
fire-fighting feud.
The outstanding event for flying
enthusiasts this week-end will be
"Aviation Days" at Astoria, Ore.,
the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. A big
dance is planned for Saturday
night with a good dance band.
Sunday morning Is a FREE
pilots' breakfast followed by a
competitive trap shoot. After
breakfast there will be an inter
esting program. You will then
have time to fly down to Seaside
for tha crowning of "Miss Ore
gon." It should be an interesting
week-end. Let's have Eugene well
represented.
It must be soma sort of
record that of all the model air
planes being flown at the free
flight contest at the Mablon
Sweet Airport last Sunday, only
two were lost The little gaso
line motor models carry only
enough fuel to ran the motor 20
seconds.
From that point the small craft
depend on air currents to keep
them aloft. During the day four of
these models disappeared from
sight at an altitude of 2000 feet.
Three of them were later found
in the vicinity of the Lorane
Highway, one right in the middle
of the highway. Only one was not
found.
One rubber-powered plane was
among the missing. In spite of the
fact that this type of model air
craft has no motor, depending en-1
tirely on a rubber band for its
power, this particular airplane
climbed to 200 feet and finally
disappeared, also In the Lorane
Highway area.
The Eugene Prop Spinners
scored 100 per cent in the con
test, however, no one from the
club qualified for the competi
tions In Detroit. Acting as hosts
for the contest, very few of the
members were able to participate
as contestants, but of those who
did enter the competitions, all
won trophies.
With all Eugene pulling for
her, Miss Diane Barnhart will
be given a flying ftart for the
title or "Miss Oregon." Diana
will be flown to Seaside for the
"Miss Oregon" contest by L. A.
Thomas of the Cut-Rate Lum
ber Co. in his Bellanca Cruia
air. This is the same plane in
which "Miss Eugene" had ber
first flight
Breakfast flights are always
lots of fun, and most of us are
eager to fly one whenever pos
sible. But a group flying from
Green's Flying Service broke all
records for eagerness about two
weeks ago.
Lead by "Pappy" Max Green,
Sr., six planes took off early on
Sunday morning for the Sports
men Pilots' Barbecue Breakfast
at Mills City, Oregon.
All went well and they arriv
ed at the Davis-Gates Airport
with appetites whetted in an
ticipation of delicious barbecue.
All went well, that is, except that
the eager pilots were one week
early.
The breakfast flight was sched
uled for Sunday, July 17. Un
daunted these early birds tried it
again, but on the right day. They
report a wonderful time and a
good show. One of the Eugene
planes, Green's AT-6, took part
in the show doing acrobatic
maneuvers.
