persons may contact either
Johnson or Hartley, or drop in
at the hangar located at the in
tersection at the Palmer air
port. The plane will be dem

this week.
Johnson and Hartley report
I cd a very good trip from Kerr
i ville. They arrived in Palmer
last Thursday afternoon follow
ing a seven-hour flight from
Fort St. John.
Johnson pointed cut this week
that Mooney’s position as the
| top seller in retractable air
! craft is positive proof of its
impressive performance and
value. The Mooney Mark 21
packs a bigger payload, has a
new “safe-liit ' flap system, a
completely new exhaust sys
tem that allows lower noise lev
el and more cabin heat. The
new T-formation flight panel!

ciency, he added. Off it ial Air
