THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1938. N BIG CROWD ON HAND TO GREET PLANE SUNDAY Pan American Craft Blazes 818-Mile Over Water Route to Tm‘rilm’y (Continued from Page One) depended on what the test flights prove. However, he indicated that Pan American was hopeful of start- ing regul scheduled service at an early date Inspector Ed Yuravich of the Bureau of Air Commerce, who has charge of “foreign” air line service for the department, and “foreign means outside of contin- ental United States, we don’t think Alaska is foreign soil,” expressed himself as well pleased with the initial flight and foresaw great pos- sibilities for its development as further facilities are developed In the Chpper when it here yesterday were Capt S. E. Robbins, First Officer; landed Gordon, Navigation Officer; R. D, Thompson, Flight Engineer; J. C Smyser, Radio Officer; Vice-Presi- dent Bixby, Inspector Yuravich and Joe Crosson, Manager of PAA. Bix by, Yuravich and Corsson were list- ed as “passengers,” the first five forming the “crew. Room for 14 Passengers Capt. Mattis explained that after regular flights are established the crew would be cut to four, giving room for 14 passengers, but at the start the crew would consist of five with accommodations for 13 passengers. The Clipper, big for this part of the world is only about half the size of the Chnia and Hawaii Clip- pers, the officers said, thus the name “Baby Clipper” which yester- day was changed, on her landing in Juneau, to “Alaska Clipper. The Sikorsky amphibian weighs 10-ton loaded and was formerly flown in the West Indies service. She is powered with two Pratt and Whitney “hornet” motors. Going south this afternoon, the Clipper carried the same men who came north on her with the excep- tion of Vice-President Bixby, who is going to Fairbanks and possibly Nome in connection with PAA and Pan American matters, and the addition of Bob Gleason, PAA Com- munications Manager, who went south. Second Test Hop Shortly The second test flight is expected to start in a few days, officia stated, and it is probably the Clip- per will be heading north a day or two after arriving in Seattle. A delegation from the city and the Juneau Chamber of Commerce headed by Mayor Harry I. Lucas and President Charle was on hand to greet the ship when it arrived yesterday afternoon and the key to the city was pres- ented to Capt. Mattis by Mayor Lucas. Plans for a dinner for the & Clipper officers and PAA staff was | postponed due to the volume of work the Clipper crew had to do, and President Carter announced the affair probably would be held on the arrival of the ship here wits its first air mail and pas- sengers. SUDDEN STORM AHEAD OF CLIPPER, KETCHIKAN KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Aug. 8. — While Ketchikan awaited the ar- rival of the Baby Clipper Sunday afternoon on the first trip north from Seattle, the city experienced the worst summer hail storm in years. Hail the size of large peas pounded down for 20 minutes with the clipper due within hour The hail storm was preceded by thunderbolts. Previously, the day had been clear and flying conditions perfect. Following the storm, the weather cleared up perfectly. ipper Arrives The PAA here at four minutes after 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon (3:04 o'clock Ju- neau time) making an estimated 650-mile ilight from Seattle, out- side of Vancouver Island, in 6 hours and 39 minutes. The plane was greeted here by Chamber of Commerce Committees. | After taking aboard 400 gallons Of‘ air gasoline the clipper took the at ten minutes past 5 o'clock (4:10 Juneau time) and headed for Ju- neau with perfect flying weather prevailing. H. M. Bixby, Vice-President of the Pan American, in c of the China and Alaska operations, who arrived Saturday, boarded the plane here and left for Ju; Trip Uneventful Capt. Mattis said: “The from Seattle was unever ther was fair. We buck a 20-mil an hour head wind most of the time but averaged 110 miles an hour We flew 15 miles outside of Van- couver Island.” E On the flight north from Seattlc the clipper flew over Bostwick In- let, 14 miles southwest of Ketchi- kan by boat, to observe the possi- bility of using the beach there for 1 landing field for flight the Seattle to Alaska flights. t—Bul per to tehikan B¢ he smiled, | communication and airport | Mattis; | Hugh | W.
