Local Airport Busy Place These Days Aellvitl«*8 at the Kno1lwoo<l Flying, Field Are at HIgheHt Peak 111 Over Five Years With seven airplanes filling all available hangar space and flying ac tivity at a six-year peak, Knollwood Airport is enjoying its busiest sea son since 1930. Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Clemson keep their three personal planes at the field, a Waco Cabin Cruiser, a Fairchild cabin and a Taylor “Cub”; Ralph Sweet has uis i<’airchUd there; Ben Stegall is storing his Travel Air Special racer in which he won many of the events at the Miami Air Races in January in one of the hangars during his visit at the Chalfonte Club, and Gordon Brown and Harold Bach man, Southern Pines, have one plane each at the airport. Mr. Bachman, operator of the field, reports that passenger flying is on the increase. Many visitors and local people make sightseeing trips with him in his Waco biplane every week end, and several students are taking courses of instruction preparatory to seeking flying licenses of their own. It is expected that with the general business improvement throughout the country and the enlargement of the airport now progressing w'ith the help if WPA and county funds, and the construction of the projected addi tional hangar on the property, the present high level of aeronautical ac tivity in the Sandhills will be main tained indefinitely.
