page four Band Charter Departs Early; Photographer Ss Late At Gate NORFOLK — The Guy Lombardo Orchestra’s charter flight from here to New York went off without a hitch for all PAI personnel except for Bob Wylie, PIEDMONITOR station correspondent, who failed to get the photograph he had very carefully set up. It happened this way: Doug Guin, manager at Newport News, began work on the charter back in July and arranged to use an F-27 that would be over-nighted at ORF. By telephone and by letter Guin sold the charter to the orchestra which was to fill an engagement at the Cavalier Club in Virginia Beach. Then Guin turned the matter over to Art Whittaker, Norfolk manager. Pilots Assigned Whittaker assigned the pi lots, arranged bus transpor tation between the airport anof the beach and set up the ca tering service. All was going well the day before departure, when Bob Wylie made the arrangements to get a photo. Then things began looking bad. The inbound equipment developed a mechanical delay, weather at New York was anything but good and the Jeppson Manuals could not be located. The only surety was that the photographer was going to be at the airport on time. However, the situation im proved as the mechanical de lay was short lived, the wea- the weather cleared and the manuals were found. And still the photographer was coming. Orchestra Early Next day the orchestra ar rived early. The bagage and instruments were easily load ed on the F-27, and at 0200 the airplane left Norfolk. PAI personnel were all smiles. All, that is, except correspondent Wylie. The trouble? No photo. The band was early, the flight left an hour before schedule and the photographer was late. As reported, Guy Lombardo was very impressed with the F-27 flight and was gener ous in his praise of an en joyable trip. But luckless Bob Wylie got no photo.
