Alaska Airlines Marks Progress of
Quarter Century With 707 Jet
And a Farewell to Last Pilgrim
SEATTLE—A quarter of a cen
tury of progress in commercial
air transportation was enacted by
a retiring Alaska Airlines, Inc.,
Pilgrim and a Boeing 707 jet
transport at Boeing Field last
week with pilots and officials
gathered to bid farewell to the
last of the Pilgrims.
Originally one of American Air
lines’ all-Pilgrim fleet, the Pil
grim N709Y *has been in Alaska
Airlines’ bush service since 1939!
The meeting of the two air
planes came about when the Pil
grim, with a cruising speed of 100
mph. and an eight-passenger and
pilot capacity, flew from Nome to
Seattle for transfer to its new
owner, the Salmon River Flying
Service in Idaho.
Thirty 707s Ordered
Because of its early connection
with American Airlines and since
American has ordered 30 Boeing
707s, which cruise at 600 mph.
and have a passenger capacity of
125, the two planes featured in a
program of photographing and in
spection.
S. L. Wallick, Boeing experi
mental test pilot, showed off the
707 to the assembled officials,
while William Lund, mainliner
pLot for Alaska Airlines, brought
the Pilgrim in from Paine Field
for the meeting.
Perfect Safety Record
Ray Luke, Alaska Airlines bush
pilot, flew the Pilgrim from Nome
to Seattle in three days. The 26
year-old plane, with a perfect
safety record, made the trip in
routine time without incident.
The Pilgrim’s log for the trip
from Nome shows the following:
Departed Nome 9:20 a.m. Flew
to Unalakleet, due to storm con
ditions and head-winds, refueling
at Unalakleet. Unalakleet to Fair
banks, overnight at Fairbanks.
"Whal Is It?"
Fairbanks to Northway, re
fueled there and on to White
horse. Refueled again and cleared
Canadian customs. Whitehorse to
Watson Lake. Overnight there,
and again at Fort Nelson. Then
on to Prince George and next day
to Chilliwack and cleared Cana
dian customs again. Next" to Bell
ingham and cleared U.S. customs.
Then to Paine Field Alaska Air
lines Overhaul and Repair Base.
“What is it?” “Where did that
come from?” “When did they quit
making those?”—Questions such
as these greeted the Pilgrim at
every stop. Luke said he had to
stand by during refueling and
servicing since many mechanics
were completely unfamiliar with
the plane. Camera fans and curi
ous surrounded the veteran at
every stop.
Reluctant Billy Gcats
The Pilgrim N709Y, on skis’" in
winter, floats in summer, and
wheels where airstrips existed,
covered the territory from the
Bering coast to the arctic, hauling
everything from reluctant billy
goats to grateful prospectors res
cued from the bush.
Now operating in one of the
more primitive areas of the U.S.,
her new owner, Harry Eaton, feels
that the rugged plane will add
more pages to her long and color
ful history.
Retirement of the Pilgrim was
part of Alaska Airline’s moderni
zation and expansion program be
gun recently as the pioneer air
line entered its second quarter of
a century of operation.
