Sinclair left Pendhayn in the spring of 1915, but Pendhayn resumed exhibition flying for the season, stationed at Overland Park, Kansas City, Missouri. That summer he reportedly was using his Day tractor, and also had a new 80-[[strikethrough]] horsepower [[/strikethrough]]  h.p. Scout tractor. He was active on the road again that season and there were regular weekend flying events at Overland Park to attract crowds. Louis Gertson was also stationed there and DeLloyd Thompson joined them on occasion.

Later that season Pendhayn was killed while flying an exhibition date at Plainview, Texas, on September 18, 1915, at age 27.
