BIG'-TEARMAF LAUDS OF THGUT LAKE.
The Airways big plane li# on the

l£go. It is the biggest plane in the
Oo. 8c will carry loQO lbs. It can
just barely get cff the lake,while
the kittle plane oan get off in 200

hold ater'rific amount of gas, cau'f
to go at crtiising speed(l20 mi .Hr.)
for 540 mi., flying time: 4-*- hr si t
carries 120 gals, of gas in the big
tank & 15 in the reserve.Total:l?h
It uses 30 gals, of gas every hr..
It has a short lower wing, pcrcul
ier to St .n planes, & therefore
will go faster that the ether shops
as it offers less resistance; The

The Fairbanks school, high •& elem
