DC7 Lands At Safety
At Anchorage With
Blown Nose Wheel Tire
ANCHORAGE, UP) — A North
west Orient Airlines DC7 with a
blown nose wheel tire landed
safely here Saturday afternoon
after circling International Air
port for more than an hour.
Capt. Bib Ashman settled the
big plane down on a field of foam
that had been spread on the east
west runway by airport firemen
to reduce friction.
He held the nose wheel high as
long as possible, then eased it
gently onto the runway. There
was a shower of sparks as the
wheel grated but there was no
fire. A cavalcade of fire trucks
pulled out of taxiways as the
plane rolled past and quickly sur
rounded it.
The plane remained on the
runway and the 19 passengers
and seven crewmen were taken
to the terminal by bus.
There were many spectators on
hand when the DC7 made its
landing.
Earlier in the day the plane
had left Anchorage for Japan via
Shemya. Northwest said the plane
had apparently blown the tire on
takeoff here. Some rubber had
been found on the runway and
Ashman had been notified.
The pilot checked the wheel
over Shemya, found its tire in
shreds, and headed back for An
chorage. Ashman dumped much
of his fuel on the return to re
duce the weight of the plane and
the chance of damage on landing.
