Harris Hill Happenings
At a pilots' meeting Friday morning it was announced that the 1938 contest may be for three weeks' duration. The first week would be devoted to test week in which pilots could obtain their "C" license and complete routine work. The final two weeks would be for competitive flights.
The pilots agreed that all ships would be licensed before coming to the meet, and as many of the pilots who can will procure their "C" license.
They expressed the opinion in a general discussion that the time is near when the number of ships will be limited for the national or international contests. It was pointed out that this ruling should not necessarily apply to pilots.
