war and the government soon banned all non-military activity. Hospitalized again in November with complications from his San Antonio mishap, Matty remained there until March 1918. Sufficiently recovered to resume flying, Laird applied for a civil service assignment in Dayton, Ohio. By the time the government got around to processing his application the war had ended and so had the need for aviation instructors. With the revival of civilian flying, Matty directed his energies toward the completion of a new biplane. (To be continued.) --- College (continued from page 8) --- The Flying Twenty is the only flight training available at San Jose State. So far members have been unable to obtain approval as a college course. Therefore no credits can be earned. The Club is manned by a Board of Directors consisting of officers and Professor Shreve, who acts in an advisory capacity. The current President is Kip Cutting, a junior class Aeronautics major, who is slated for Navy Flight School after graduation next year. Kim was captain of last year's championship team. Chuck Armstrong, also on the '66 team, Vice President Maintenance is a senior this year, taking Aeronautics. Vice-President/Operations is Gordon Ware, who likely will be on the '67 team. Gordon is a junior, also taking Aeronautics, and has a Commercial License with Instrument rating. John Laffey serves in the capacity of Communications Officer; he is a graduate student in education and a school teacher on the side. Glenn Falcon/Treasurer, is a junior Aeronautics major who will be on the '67 team providing he doesn't get his Instructor's rating by then. The Flying Twenty does most of the minor maintenance and, occasionally, some major maintenance. It's good training for them and can be handled in the Aeronautics Department of the College. For the most part, though, they farm out engine changes and the like. These are college students, and excess time is something missing in their days. A commercial maintenance facility — "the best we can find" — takes over that chore for them. The planes are also used for college work, such as aerial photography and to move the faculty. The attitude between college officials and The Flying Twenty remains good. This intercollegiate club has spawned many aviation men including Colonel Selden R. Edner, who had an outstanding record during WW-2, and Arthur Scholl, a national champion race pilot and member of the U. S. Aerobatic Flying Team which represented the U.S. in Moscow last year. At least 12 former members are airline pilots right now, several more sit in the left seat of large business aircraft. --- Oklahoma Declared Red-Hot The Flying Aggies of Oklahoma State report via Tiner A. Lapsley that a red-hot team of 15 to 18 students complete with 4 or 5 Cessna 150's will descend on The Flying Salukis for the big annual competition this May. --- Colorado Signs Up Snoopy Glenn Harper, President of the Buff Flying Club of the University of Colorado, declares that hosting the NIFA Meet last year in Boulder sparked great enthusiasm in the '67 team. Snoopy is the center of the Buff's new emblem; you can almost hear him say: "Beware, Red Barons, all of you. I have my trusty Camel all primed for the contest!" Any bets on the Red Baron? --- Big Host For Big Meet The FLuing Salukis of Southern Illinois, officially known as the Saluki Flying Club, came into being in the fall of 1960 and organized in the winter of 1961. The members then decided to name the Club after the school mascot. S.I.U. is the 20th largest school in the nation. Home base is Carbondale which has a population 20,500 while the University counts up to 25,000 students. And, right now, a goodly percentage of those students are hard at work making like hosts for the 1967 National Intercollegiate Flying Club's Annual Meet. See you all there? --- Turbo Twin (continued from page 35) --- We wanted to see the single-engine performance naturally, so Bill eased back on the right throttle slowly dropping that engine to zero thrust condition, approximately 10 inches and 2200-rpm. After it had cooled slightly, blip, the prop swung to a dead halt in a fully feathered position. Practically soundlessly at this altitude, and with the Altimatic cocking up that side so quickly and easily, we hardly knew the prop had stopped turning. It's no sweat holding the plane straight and level with the rudder only (or with the Altimatic, naturally) at cruise power with about 135 indicating. The right wing cocks up about 3 degrees, and that's all there is to it. "Now let's see if it really will start again," said Bill, and it did, with no AERO BOOKS RACING PLANES and AIR RACES A complete history by Reed Kinert, well-known authority.
