Douglas Skyray
Flies 728 M.P.H.
To Set Record
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Muroc, Calif., — The Douglas
Aircraft Company announced Sat
urday that the fleet Navy jet
plane F-4D Skyray was flown at
an average speed of 728.110 miles
per hour Friday on a 100-kilo
meter circular course to set a
world speed record for a closed
course at this distance.
The company said Bob Rahn,
32-year-old Douglas test pilot,
flew the del tawing jet interceptor
at an altitude of about 300 feet
around the desert course to break
the British mark of 709.2 miles
per hour.
Neville Duke, flying a British
Hawker Hunter jet fighter, had
established the previous record at
Dunsford, Surrey, England, just
last Sept. 19.
It was only last Oct. 3 that Lt.
Cmdr. James Verdin, a Navy pilot,
flew the Skyray to a new overall
world speed record of 753.4 miles
per hour, averaging this speed in
four passes over a straight three
kilometer course here.
The record made Friday by
Rahn was on a course that meas
ures 62.1 miles. He flew around 12
pylons marking the course on the
Mojave Desert. Douglas officials
reported that he held the Skyray
in a 35-degree bank' while flying
around the large circle.
Wrong-Way Sweep
McALESTER, Okla., Wt — Mrs.
Thomas O’Malley prepared the
cleanest home in the valley—but
it isn’t hers.
She took her soap, mop and pail
out to a new home she had just
leased here. She wanted to give
the place a good Irish cleaning.
After the cleaning chore, she
checked with the rental agent
about the garage. She was told
there was no garage with the
house, and further checks devel
oped Mrs. O’Malley had cleaned
the wrong vacant house. Her new
home was two blocks down the
street.
