Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 2)
bureau standing by his jeep, we
yelled good-bye, which brought
a puzzled look to his face,
j The evening sun and the green
hills and billowy clouds made
the ride through the military
! reservation very enjoyable. It
| was our first visit to it in a year
: and we were startled to notice
that some of the buildings are
once again painted white as in
pre-war days.
There at the hanger waiting
for us was the Alaska Airlines
plane, the big Starliner Juneau,
on its first trip to Kodiak. It
had been here earlier in the day,
and then flew to Bethel from
| where it took 21 fishermen to
Naknek and then returned here.
After all the drab war-painted
planes we have been seeing the
Starliner was beautiful to behold,
with its shining exterior set off
with a red and blue band run
ning the length of the fuselage
setting off a painted Alaska Air
lines monogram.
Ray introduced us to the pilot
and then we clamored aboard.
Inside it looks like a Greyhound
bus, with 7 seats on the right and
14 on the left. We took a gander
into the pilot’s office (?) where
the maze of equipment and dials
confronted us, began chatting
with some of the other occu
pants, and decided we would sit
on the left back far enough to see
under the wing. Then we heard
the pilot asking if the pressure
was up, which must have meant
i something reassuring because
when he found out it was he said
be was ready to take off.
The door was slammed shut,
some servicemen scurried around
removing blocks from under the
landing gear wheels, the motor
started with a roar and In a brief
minute the plane taxied around
the corner of the hangar and
headed down a runway. In an
other brief momeDt it left the
ground, glinting m the sunlight
as it headed over the town of
Kodiak.
We saw it plainly as we head
ed back to town in the taxi
where Ray dropped us by the
drug store as we thanked him
for taking us out to see the
plane.
Jean Foley was so angry at
noon Monday that she could
hardly eat her breakfast food,
