FORM PARTNERSHIP
Frank Dorbandt, veteran Alas

mechanic, and Myrtle Morton,
daughter of Attorney and Mrs. i
H. F. Morton of Anchorage, ar

ternoon, one hour and 10 minutes
following the hop-off from the
Inlet metropolis.
Complying with the ruling un
der which airplane pilots are re
quired to undergo a physical ex
amination twice each year. Dr.
A. D. Haverstock, of the Seward
General Hospital, looked the pop
ular and skillful flyer over. Im
mediately following, owing to the
low. gathering fog-banks to the
north, Dorbandt took off on the
homeward flight, with, in addi
tion to Cope ar.d Miss Morton.
Lois Jessen, Seward girl. The re
turn flight took exactly one hour.
Dorbandt and Cope, while out
side recently, purchased the plane
flown here yesterday, a speedy
F. irchi’d cabin monoplane. This
is the plane which whizzed over
Seward last Sunday having been
flown up from Seattle in 18.1-2
r irs. If they hadn’t surveyed a
couple of bays on the way
up. they would have made the
fhaht to Alaska in 16 hours, Cope
said yesterday.
This winter they plan to inau
gurate a States to Alaska route,
starting, probably, at Wenatchee,
rPrect to Alaska. In the very near
: "ure they are returning Sew
ard for the purpose of selecting
o good mooring nlace on the
’n ^rt] beach and those
vho desire an opportunity for an
serial cruise, for sky-rides.
The plane, which has accomo
dations for four passengers, was
designed for high-altitude mapp
ing work and has a camera hatch
in the floor of the cabin. It cruis
es at 105 miles an hour with pon
~r ons, or 110 miles with wheels
ar.d has a top speed of 145 miles
-n hour. Its range is 700 miles
without refueling. The motor is
a 300-horsf'power Wright J-6 9
3kiis will replace the present
nc ntoons during winter flying.
Dorbandt told enthusiastically of
a new type of skiwheel. designed
bv his partner, Cope, which he
will use in the winter. The com
bination landing gear permits the
wane to alight on snow or dirt.
When the skiis are not needed,
Dorbandt explained, they may be
raised by means of a control in
the cockpit so they are out of the
it r> v. in taking off from crusted
snow, the landing gear is so con
structed that the skiis are below
the wheels and the tires cause
no drag.
