Director General John Barrett of the

Trvjnu to Kid Him.

Down at Kelly field an instructor
left on q fulough and his cadets were
assigned to other flights" for their
dying practice. BY mistake one was
attached TO a "circus" squad.
When his turn came he climbed into
the rear pit and the instructor took
him up to 5000 feet, swung the ma
chine into a spiral nose dive. and
waved his arms above his head to In
dfcate that the cadet should right the
machine.
When the machine had dropped to
2.b0O feet, gaining momentum rapidly,
the Instructor became alarmed and
looked back at the cadet. who waved
his arms above his head and grinned.
The pilot grabbed the controls and
made a safe landing.
The cadet explained that this was
his nrst Night, and he thought the In
structor was trying to kid him when
he waved, so he pretended he wasn't
scared.
