Rodgers' Recoid
Flight Ended
Pasadena, Gal. Nov. 6.—C. P.
Rodgers, completed his tran-continen
tal flight yesterday, landing here at
4.04 p. m. He left New York Septem
ber 17. ^ f
Official figures of Rddger's flight
given by his manager show: To:
distance 4,231 miles; flying time 4.-
924 n^nutes.
Rodgers lazuded at 4:10 o’clock. To
day he expects to fly out over the
Pacific and thiis make the epoch-
making feature of aviation.
Rodgers appeared in the sky shortr
ly after 3 o’clock. He was sighted
by telescopes from the solar observ
atory on Mount Wilson and word
flashed down the mountain by tele
phone brought 2,000 persons to Tour
nament park.
Flying at a height^of about 5,00U
feet, Rodgers hovered over the city
for a few minutes, theri circled in a
v/ide spir.al and volplaned down. His
landing was a sifhal-for a ri*sh and
Rodgers literally was mobbed.
Rodgers started on the last dash
of his flight from Banning, Cal., a
little town out in the desert where
his arrival had -Iiitevrupced the only
diversion of the year—the funeral
dance of the Mpjava Indians.
Taking the air at noon, Rodgers
ascended ^ace^lly in the face of a
20-mile v/iiid until 'he had reached an
altitude of 400 feet. Then he set
his course directly w^t and spark
ed his motor up to -a thirty-mile
gait. ■ ■ ’
The flier arrived over Colton at
1:37 p. m;,; wit^ 'his altitude increas
ed to l,QW;“fe«tr andShe kept this
height until he " neared Pomona, 21
miles from Pasadena. He remained
there until after 3 o’clock renewing
his supply of gasoline and refilling
the tank of the leaking radiator that
brought him near disaster yester
day.
After leaving Pomona Rodgers
kept his biplane pointing upward un
til he had climbed over the highest
peaks of the Sierra Madre mountains.
As he sped on the finish at Tourna
ment park, he was on a level with
the Mount Wilson observatory and
fiymg close to the ragged sides of
the mountain. . , ^ xu 4.
His machine, a Baby Wright that
has only an 18-foot spread of wings,
seemed to hesitate for an instant as
the aviator carried it into the
lous though spectacular, spiral glide.
At this time he was directly over the
park, but as he came down his flier
described ever-widening curves until
he was within a few hundred feet
of the ground. Thjn Rodgers per
formed one of the dips Arch Hoxsey
was taking when be was
Dominguez, within sight of Mount
Wilson,*^ last December.
Rodgers declared that his own
flight, begun September 17 and fin
ished today, 49 days later would not
be duplicated for a year or more.
