RAINBOW SKYWAYS
PLANE TALK
i Flying Instructor Frank Whal
ey reports that he has twelve
students receiving flight instruc-i
tion at present and several more!
are expected to start in the near
future. A number of the students
are about ready to make their
first flight alone and the atmo-i
sphere around the airport is
about like that of a nest of
young robins ready to try their
wings for the first time.
There seems to be consider
able interest amongst the fair
sex in learning the ways of the
lair as evidenced by the fact that
five cf the fourteen potential
pilots are women, Miss MargaTet
Lee, Mrs. Edna Fix, Mrs. Verda
Davis, Mrs. Neva Whaley and
Miss Jeanne Hilchey. The fol'ow
ing men are trying to keep up
with the women: Ed Snyder,
Tony Johansen, Wm. White,
Kevin Walsh, Harry Lewis, Char
les Lewis, Sidney Rood, Fred
Wade and Jim Holland. Mrs. Ed
na Fix is receiving her instruc
tion at Bunker Hill and Jim
Holland at Coffee Creek.
Pilot Whaley reports that sev
eral sight seeing trips were made
from Rainbow Mines, Monday
evening to see a big brown bear
that was about twelve mi es from
camp. The bear was eating a
reindeer and whenever the plane
came close to him, he would
i rear up on his hind legs and start
i clawing the air as though defy
; irg anybody to try and take his
dinner away from him. Over 40
dead deer were counted within a
radius of 5 miles of the bear, but
it is believed that wolves had
accounted for most of them.
Whaley states that hundreds of
dead reindeer are scattered thru-j
out the Kuzitrin Valley and ac-:
cording to the Igloo reindeer
herders, that is where the wolves
were doing to most damage the
past winter.
Pilot Whaley is in Nome on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday of
each week and the balance of the
week is spent at Rainbow Mines
on the Noxapaga River about 90
miles north of Nome.
