I'VE had some excitement here
Sunday morning. A sergeant go
drunk and swiped the Colonel's
plane and took it up. He had only
had 10 hours in the air and that
was in a little cub. He would dive
at the barracks, and he ran every
one out of the control tower div
ing at it. He hit power line in
Bakersfield and tore his wing and
about so feet of wire was strung
out behind him. A lieutenant went
up and tried to force him down.
but couldn't He finally brought the
plane in and made pefect landing.
The Colonel patted him on the
back and said he wished the cadets
could fly that good.
They broke him denoted him)
