SPORTSMEN PROUDLY DISPLAY THEIR “KILLS”
While there was no deer hunting allowed in Pisgah Nation
al Forest during the current season this fact did not prevent
the nimrods shown above from getting their venison. In the
above picture, left to right is shown Mr. Leon English, foreman
in the Inspection Department; Mr. Ray Bennett, General Super
intendent of Ecusta; and Mr. Bob Kappers, Master Mechanic.
Bob has a buck with a set of antlers which justified the big
smile or laugh on his face. Mr. Bennett s deer is a buck too
(it’s against the law to kill a doe) ; and while the a,ntle^ are
improvised, they are antlers just the same. Lpon just has a
big knowing grin, a bald head and no deer. At least that is
the story we get from the picture, but there are plenty of other
versions as to who killed which deer, stories of shirt tails being
lost, etc. You may talk to either or all of these men and believe
whatever you want to about their hunt. The picture story is
all that we are printing.
ing up in a “tail spin.” But
ordinarily “spins” don’t last
long. They’ll read of you in
the papers for that too. You
fly on around and arrive at a
place in space (which you se
lect your own very self) where
you cut the engine and start to
glide in for a landing. Theoret
ically. you may be in perfect
line for a landing but lets have
a little thought for six dimen
sional air currents which may
tend to upset this perfect glide.
Of course you have the con
trols in hand but your heart’s
in your mouth. Nevertheless
you can’t stay up there always
and so—here goes. You’re ap
proaching for a landing, nose
pointed at the end of the field,
throttle back, just slipping
along. Earth’s coming up pretty
fast, closer, closer, fifteen feet
yet to go. You level off and feel
the ship start to sink. Pull back
the stick a little, speed de
creases, drop increases—keep
the nose pointed up the field
and she’s almost there. Now
the stick is back and you’re
practically on the ground—a
rumbling noise as the wheels
and tail touch in a perfect three
point landing, no bounce!
Coast along until she slows—
and stops. Several of your
comrades gather around to con
gratulate you with their hands
behind their backs—smiles on
their faces and paddles in their
hands. You get both congratu
lations and the paddles—but
it’s wonderful.
You’ve completed your first
successful solo flight. You’ve
got pride for it—but Buddy,
you’re just starting. Next time
up with your instructor and
he’ll show you a few tricks
about earobatics (stunts to
you)! At first they’ll scare the
Heck out of you but you're
never satisfied until you dV)
them over and over again.
