One way to get off the farm is
to take to the air, and that is
just how a flying teenager from
Claude is gaining nation-wide at-
tention as she spins across the
Panhandle in a Piper Tri-Pacer.
Jane Hunt, 19, a student at
Wayland Baptist College in
Plainview has held a pilot's li-
cense for more than a year.
While on a story in Plainview
a LOOK Magazine editor watch-
ed her preparing to take off from
the Hale County Airport for a
flight home. He seemed torn be-
tween believing what he was see-
ing and thinking that someone
was trying ti sell him another
Texas tall tale.
The slender blonde has logged
well over 100 hours air time since
she earned her pilot's license in
March of 1959. Pier first flying
lesson was in August of 1958, but
her pilot father. Herbert Hunt,
has been giving her tips on flying
since she was a tot. Now with
both Jane and her father as pi-
lots, Mrs. Hunt and Jane's older
brother, Billy, though not pilots
themselves, enjoy many air jaunts.
Hunt, who is a Flying Farmer,
purchased the first family plane
about 14 years ago Since then
planes have played an important
role in the management of his
farms, where he raises cattle,
poultry, wheat and grain sorgh-
ums. Diversified farming on the
home place near Claude and a
second farm in the South Plains
near Lubbock are simplified with
the aid of a plane.
Honors seem to come in groups
of three for Jane, who will be a
sophomore at Wayland this fall.
When she attended the National
Flying Farmers Convention in Ft.
Collins, Colo., last year, she was
awarded a W. T. Piper trophy,
presented annually to farm wo-
men who have earned a pilot's
license since the preceding con-
vention. Again at the Tulsa Con-
vention, she received the youngest
pilot award. A third thrill came
with the presentation of the tro-
phy for the latest dated pilot's
license to her by Mrs. Billy Tune,
president of the Oklahoma Fly-
ing Farmers and a Powder Puff
Derby contestant.
As a senior at Claude High
School, Jane earned not only a
diploma and a pilot's license, but
the American Legion Citizenship
award as well. Busy in the 4-H
Club and Future Homemakers of
.America organization, she is an
accomplished seamtress and finds
time to design and make many
of her clothes. At Wayland, where
she is following in her mother's
