Distance of Landing Fields Fron

ST. PAUL FIELD LAUDED
Practical Value of Airplane in
Future Will Be for
Long Flights.'
"Air port facilities throughout
the country are very poor, because
of the distance of the landing fields'
from business centers of the cities"
said Prof. Frank N. M. Brown, of
the engineering aeronautical de-
partment, who traveled 5,000 miles
in the Ford tri-motor plane which
took part in the Fifth National 'Air
Tour for the Edsel Ford trophy.
"The Chicago air port is an ex-
ample of the existing conditions"
he said "for after landing it took
three hours to reach the hotel. St.
Paul has the only air port of any
practical value, and here the hotel
was reached eight minutes after
landing.
The same trouble was encounter-
ed in Toronto as in Chicago, ac-
cording to Professor drown, and the
pilots were forced to spend four
hours in heavy traffic before reach-
city.-
In speaking of the future of the
airplane Professor Brown mention-
ed that at present the practical,
value of theairplane is to'be found I
only in long distance flights. He'
believes there is little possibility
that the airplane will take the
place of the automobile for short I
trips.
One of Professor Brown's pur-
poses in making the trip was to in-
vestigate flying over unchartered
routes, and in speaking of this he
mentioned that all pilots found it
easy with the assistance of good
maps.{
"The only bad weather encount-
ered," he- added, "was between Chi-
cago and Detroit when all were
'forced to fly less than a hundred
feet from the ground to avoid a
storm which was raging above."
Professor Brown was in the plane
piloted by Myron E. Zeller who fin-
ished third. Mr. Zeller was former-
ly an engineering student at Mich-
igan. He is at present chief testing I
pilot for the Ford Motor Company. I
