The Nome Fire Department Vol

day fr< r.i the airport to stand by
during at em ’ vney landing by a
W an r':'T inhoutid from Northeast
C ! LH’
On taking off from St. Lawrence
I.-land the nose wheel was cocked
’ i one si it by about 40 degrees
and tits' pilot was unable to retract
t‘ t wheel.
Wien .ground personnel and the
FAA observed the plane on a low
paw over the field and as soon as
the City fire truck was sent to
east-west runway, the plane made
its landing approach.
Pilot Bill English and co-pilot
Holger Jorgenson were flying the
plane and as soon as the nose
wheel touched down, they were
able to steer the plane on a
straight course by applying brakes
on the opposite side. The nose
wheel straightened out after a few
yards and the rest of the landing
and taxiing to the terminal was
accomplished without incident.
Pat Gruel was the stewardess
aboard and there was one passen
ger. The plane departed this morn
ing after mechanics had checked
it over.
A large number of townspeople
raced out to the field as soon as
the emergency landing was an
nounced but there was no confu
sion as FAA personnel directed the
traffic, keeping all unauthorized
cars from approaching the field.
The plane crew, to whom great
credit is due, for a masterly handl
ing of a difficult situation, thanked
the Nome Volunteer Fire Depart
ment for their speedy support.
John Bums of the Fish and
Game Department, while on a trip
down the coast, spotted an Alaskan
fur seal sunning himself on the
i rocks at Cape Nome. After taking
! pictures of this animal, sub-adult
bull, he coaxed him back into the
writer.
Fur seal do not usually come
fa>-ther north than the Pribiloff
Islands, stated Burns, and is the
first one known to have visited
the beach in this area.
