RAINBOW SKYWAYS

A new arrival in Nome that has caused considerable interest among the air-minded, both young and old, is the new three place Piper Cub Cruiser airplane belonging to Frank Whaley.
 The plane is a combination pri vate and training plane powered with 75 horsepower motor.
 Pilot Whaley, flying the new plane and accompanied by his wife made a trip to Rainbow Mines Thursday with freight and stopped at other Kougarok points. He says he is very well pleased with the plane and its ability to land and take off in a shot dis tance.
 Whaley will divide his time be tween student flight training and his mining interests in the Kou- garok until the close of the min ing season at which time he will devote all his attention to stu dent training. Several students have already started flying in struction and it is expected that within a few weeks Nome will have crop of new student pilots enjoying the thrills of a life time, mans conquest of. the air.
