you can recall every detail. Once
in awhile I reminisce about my
first job in the agricultural bus-
iness. It didn't last long.
I had just finished one of
those agricultural schools that
in addition to training agricul-
ture pilots, also furnish an
active list of prospective em-
ployers. I suppose they did have
such a list and it must have been
full of hot prospects for future
employment. As a matter of
fact it was so hot that nobody
could touch it. The end result
was that upon finishing the pre-
scribed course I went home full
of hope and no job. All the bro-
chures said there was a tremen-
dous shortage of agricultural
pilots and this seemed reason-
able. I knew there was a short-
age, but not all operators had
heard the word.
I called everyone from Florida
to Tennessee to Arizona and let
me tell you I didn’t get anything
but a bunch of operators that
hadn’t heard about the shortage.
I finally got a break one day; a
fellow called me from a town
about two hundred miles away.
Well, at last someone had heard
the word. The deal was that he
was willing to give me a chance;
the only thing I had to do was
buy an airplane and work on a
percentage until I had some ag-
ricultural experience under my
belt. The school took the last bit
of my money and I sure couldn’t
buy an airplane so I went back
to my hobby - job hunting. In
the meantime the bugs were be-
ginning to break loose in Georgia
and the same man called again.
This time he was willing to put
me to work, but first I had to
go to Rayville, Louisiana and
pick up a “new” airplane. He

had just bought another airplane
over the phone.
I left home full of hope and
with great dreams of the dollars
rolling in. I knew there was no
stopping me now. The first mil-
lion bucks were just around the
corner and I was going after
them. I got to Rayville before
daylight and made a straight
line to the airport. As you may
know, Rayville is a small town
and there were no cabs, buses
or for that matter pick up
trucks on the road that time of
the morning. So I walked to the
I airport. I was eager. I got to the
airport and found a nice assort-
ment of airplanes. I just knew
that the real pretty red and
white cub was bound to be
mine. I was in sheer delight
when the boss’ friend arrived.
He seemed nice enough, gave
me the envelope with the air-
plane papers in it and I was
ready. I headed for that pretty
cub and was stopped. That was
not the airplane! He led me
around behind the hanger and
tied to a tree was the airplane
I was to fly back. I am sure
that it belonged to the Wright
brothers at one time. The patch-
es on top of other patches need-
ed patches and I saw my first
million bucks go right out the
window or should I say cockpit?
Either case would be correct be-
cause there were no windows or

for that matter no side doors to
boot. The tires were good
though.
Being a determinde chap I
said we would put the patches
on and then see if it would fly.
As a matter of fact it flew. That
airplane flew like no other in
this world Lxvuuse 1 am sure it
came from some planet other
than earth. Well 1 took off and
headed m the general direction
of Georgia The compass didn’t
work - who needs one? The
muffler system was gone - so
what’s a little noise? The win-
dows were gone - so who needs
windows? Actually I was in
good shape for 1 had a Mobil
road map. I also had good tires
and plenty of new patches. You
should have seen those unpaint-
ed patches contrasting with the
color of the airplane. It resem-
bled a Truns-Dogpatch Special.
Then I learned that the brakes
were gone. Of course I didn’t J
lose them until I had to make a
cross wind landing - a time,
when brakes are a most desir- !
able feature.
I sat up there in that wind
wagon getting beat by the wind;;
listening to the percussion of my !
eardrums as they vibrated to 1
the staccato firing of the noisy j
engine and watched the cars go ,
by - past me that is. The em-1
barrassm.ent was too much. I .
had to find another way to navi- '
gate - too much traffic on the
highway. Those cars sure
thought they were smart. I
found an iron compass - rail-
road to you earthbound folks
and followed it until it ran out.
At least no trains passed me be-
cause there weren’t any.
I will neevr forget the looks
we got when we went ink) those
swank airports for fuel stops.

Jolly Ten Has
Birthday Party
P-TA To Elec!
Officer Slate
Members of
the Jolly Ten
ed if we were on our w a y to Club, a group who has met
Birmingham to demonstrate. I through the years whenever one
of its members has a birthday,
will admit we were quite a
sight. I was covered with oil and
the airplane, well like I said be-
fore, it did have good tires.
After taking three days to get
to the state line of Georgia I
felt like Lindberg must have
felt. Tired but good. I had done
something with that old airplane
nobody else had or would do. I
made it to Georgia. I thought
back many times, during the
trip, of the sleek, fast airplanes
I had flown before. Frankly, I
was ready to fly something
plush again. I know that old
crate hated me from the minute
its tail feathers were united
from that tree back in Rayville.
Well, it didn’t matter for the
feeling was mutual. Anyway, I
would soon be at work and this
old bird was to be a spare (I
hoped).
I had several experiences with
this bird on the trip, but this
column can be just so long. I
will say that upon landing the
airport was quiet, for the season
had started. Nobody was there
except a stranger obviously not
in the airframe game. All air-
planes tied down, this indeed
was strange. My ears were ring-
ing from all the noise of the
prolonged flight and I could
hardly hear the stranger as I
jumped out of the cockpit. Then
every word was loud and clear
and almost as deafening as the
engine noise had been - the
stranger told me my boss had
been killed the day before. My
world closed in tight. Tighter
than ever before. Once again I
was alone in a business that had
not heard the word. I wondered
if it ever would.
