As an enthusiast of aviation, Em
mett Wiggins has long recognized the
fact that civilian flying in and around
Edenton has languished for lack of
landing fields. With the exception
of the Marine Corps Air Base, about
’ five miles SE of Edenton, there are
i no adequate airstrips or airport to
accommodate those wishing to fly or
, learn to fly. And but for a short

the absence of a municipal airport,
was forced to hanger his own plane
on the Base and make use of the
runways for flying.
But, says Wiggins, eastern Caro

s miles of navigable water furnishes i

ideal landing and taking off facili

shorelines make excellent shelter for.
hangaring a plane with floats.
Taking advantage of these natural
wateitway airports, Wiggins bought
a light seaplane, and at the same
time killed two birds with one stone.

Overhead as I write incredibly swift

It is the steady, day by day fly

keeps civilian interest in flying alive.
From their unsung and unheralded
