AIRMEN TOPPLES BRICK FROM STACK Pilot Weaver Flirts With Death Flying Low Over South Lorain Aviator Buck Weaver who flew over Lorain Sunday had so many thrilling and narrow escapes on that day that some of them were missed by the reporter who covered the story of the spectacular flight. When flying over Pearl-av Weaver came near to meeting disaster. He flew over the penny arcade of W. H Williams & Son at 2927 Pearl-av and knocked a brick off the chimney. The machine continued on its way. the impact not being sufficient to tilt the plane or break the wing.

PLANS TO MAKE FLIGHTS FROM OBERLIN SATURDAY "Buck" Weaver Plans to Take Up Passengers --From Ohio Aviation School Near Lorain. All of the live wires in Oberlin, who have longed to soar aloft in the clouds will have their opportunity this coming Saturday, September 27, when the monster Curtiss plane, piloted by "Buck" Weaver of the Ohio Aviation School near Lorain, will pay a visit here. Mr. Weaver is perhaps one of the best known pilots in America. He has spent many years in the flying game, not only as a mechanic but also as an exhibition flyer and instructor. When the big passenger-carrying Lawson plane left Chicago recently "Buck" Weaver was the man designated to fly it. he had, however, decided that the aerial field is greatly in need of pilots and that his place in life is to teach as many as he can to fly. To that end the Ohio Aviation School at stop 73, Lake Shore Electric Ry., was started some time ago with two planes. The school has since been augmented by the addition of two other Curtiss planes and the purchase of the largest civilian flying field in Ohio, the same being situated in Lorain county In a very short time a large hanger will have been constructed to take care of any visiting planes which might change to descend on the field. There has been considerable talk about this same field becoming the location for the Chicago-Cleveland-New York mail landing but nothing definite has been reached, although the natural advantages of the immense acreage seems to outshine any other spot. Mr. Weaver was one of the first civilian flying instructors to report for duty in defense of his country. He comes back from the war with the praise of many army officers to his credit. The airplane will arrive in Oberlin either Friday afternoon or early on Saturday morning. Some exhibition flights will be made over the town after which passengers will be carried into the air.
Transcription Notes:
It seems that different images have been used to cover parts of the article. This resulted in an incomplete transcription of the paragraphs that have been covered. I put [[missing]] for those sections as a transcription of certain words would have been more than a missing word from a sentence. It would have been a word in a missing sentence.
