Fri day evening. Twenty-four planes were mem- *bers of the tour on its visit here Friday. Pilots began arriving with their planes early in the morning and at noon several had gathered and were circling the city. Three army planes from Fort Bragg arrived about two-thirty and executed a number of ma neuvers about the airport and city before being forced away by a thunderstorm, which delayed the flights and air show tor an hour. The planes were representa tive of sejeral types of trans- nnrf, ships. Including a trl-motor- ed Ford, and tw» planes from the United States department of commerce, aeronautics division. Passenger flights occupied the time until shortly alter six o’ clock, when tbS'Slr show began with stunt flying by Morrison Jlnsoa, noi^ flyer fliftous afif' race between San Francisco and Hawaii. Stunt fly ing by Johnny Crowell, of Char lotte, south’s premier stunt fly er, was the next attraction. Ed Newkirk, former resident of this city who now lives in Burlington, took to the air fol lowing the flight by Crowell and held the rapt Interest of the throng .of spectators with a se ries of loops, rolls and upside down flying. The free for all air race was participated in by four planes, some of which arttained a speed of around 150 miles per hour. The air show program came to a climax at the twilight hour with a parachute jump from a high altitude. The ’chute jumper left his plane far above the air port and fell a distance of ap proximately 2,000 feet before opening his first parachute. About half to the earth he opened a second one and the gentle winds carried him across the river. He landed at the home of Joe Barber In Wilkesboro. The immense cnassd was very orderly here Friday with nothing happening to mar the pleasure of the day. Pilots and other memb ers of the tour had nothing but good to say abostJforth Wilkes- I'^yiro and the people here and ex- \Vessed themselves as hoping the ’.our would vlsii North Wilkes boro again next year.
