At Palmer Airport
Several members of the Mat
anuska Valley Airmens’ Associa
tion turned out last Sunday and j
nicked rocks and boulders off the
two runways at Palmer Airport, j
The back-breakipg job took sev- j
eral hours of hard work. Dr. Lee j
McKinley, association member j
who was unable to help in the
work, donated $10. Clyde King, I
Jr. donated the use of his truck, j
as well as working with the crew, j
Bruce Murray got his solo li
cense last week. He is taking
flight instructions from Les
Green on his own J-5 which was
recently brought up to Alaska on
a trailer and re-assembled upon
arrival.
Larry Bixby and Clyde King,
Jr., both students of Rene Neil
sen, passed their written and !
flight exams last week and are :
now holders of private pilot li- j
censes.
New student and member of
the Flying Club is Paul Barn- !
hardl of Palmer who is taking
flight instructions from Rene
Neilsen.
The Flying Club’s Cub motor
was worked over last week, and |
is all set for many more flight j
hours.
A1 Dickow, airport manager, ,
has requested that all aircraft ad
here to the Palmer pattern: Stan
dard left hand pattern, enter on J
45 degree angle midway on |
downwind leg a 600 feet. Under |
no-wind condition, land to the1
south. This pattern is approved
and recorded with CAA aviation j
safety.
On Saturday night last week
Dr. Lee McKinley reported to the
airport manager that a plane was
down, with a red flare showing, |
just this side of Sheep Mountain
along the Matanuska River. A
call to Flight Assistance put a
plane in the air. However, the re
port turned out to be a false al
arm, with no further details
available on just why the flare
was set up.
Tentative plans are under way
for a massed flight of Palmer
aircraft to Chulitna. Planes will
leave the local airport Saturday j
afternoon and return Sunday af- j
ternoon. All pilots planning to !
-make the trip are requested to j
sign up at the airport stating j
name, type plane and number of
passengers. Reservations will be
made at the hotel at Seelatna and
will cost 12.50 each. This includes
lodging and three meals, the
latter to be served family style.
The trip is about 100 airmiles and
will require from an hour and :
one quarter to an hour and one
half.
The regular meeting of the
Matanuska Airmen’s Association
viil be held tonight at 8 p.m. in j
** the Co-Op club room. J
