ing Hunters dipped the "City of

plane above Sky Harbor Airport in
elation today as their refueling en-
duranco flight reached its original
goal of 800 hours and then flew on.
The 500-hour point was passed at
12:40 p. m, CDT. and guesses that
the plane would come down at that
time prove wrong, as the ship con-
tinucd in the air.
The alluring offers of bonuses for
additional flying time, pulling up
their earnings at the rate of nearly
$4,000 a day, apparently influenced
the Hunters to remain Up, despite
Kenneth's willingness to descend at
any time.
What their new goal is, now
that they have left more than 800
behind, probbaly will be a decision
that will be influenced by the be-
havior Of their Wright motor.
