Pilot Rides Tail
Of His Own Plane
For Ten Minutes
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., —
Frost-bitten. Llcryd Bowen classi
fied the 10 minutes he spent on
the tail of a spinning small plane
as his most harrowing experience
—and he was a gunner on a B-29
Superfort in World War II.
Here’s what happened:
Bowen, 39, landed his two-place
Cessna at Kellogg Airport and
started taxiing toward a hangar.
The engine conked out in the
7-above-zero cold. Bowen alighted
to spin the propeller by hand and
get the engine started again.
It started with a roar and al
most chopped Bowen down.. He
wrapped his arms around the rud
der as it passed and held on, but
the plane didn’t stop. He forced
the rudder to the side, making the
plane run in a circle. ‘
Finally, after ten freezing,
dizzying minutes, the spinning
plane was spotted by the airport
tower.
A crash truck speeded up. Two
attendants jumped off and grab
bed the tail with Bowen, who
then let loose and ran to the
cockpit, forcing in the throttle
GAMBELL NEWS
Gambell native Thanksgiving
feast had been postponed a week
later because of flu. It was ob
served on the 29th of November.
The flu which made children
sick with colds and high fever did
not hit the adults. We are hoping
this is for all season. If it was
not for the drugs called sulfa and
penicillin, some would be in a
critical condition.
A little boy drank kerosene re
cently, which had been used to
wash out a paint brush. The
school teacher made the child
vomit soon enough, so the child
came out of it ok, except for flu.
Fresh walrus meat is not avail
able yet. Several are seen swim
ming around. Someone shot one
small walrus, but at the time of
this writing, there is no walrus
yet.
he’d left too far out in the first
place.
Caked with snow and ice when
he got off, Bowen got first aid
for his frostbitten face and ears.
Airport authorities said the
engine was running around 2,000
revolutions per minute during its
wild, but Bowen-controlled spree.
At that speed, they said, the plane
without a man’s weight on its
tail, likely would have taken off
and possibly crashed into hangars
or nearby homes.
