On October 25, 1925, two daredevils, Gladys Rox and Ivan Unger played a game of tennis atop a plane, 3,000 feet in the air.

While she and I were manning the hose (she took this photo), I asked her what her choice of death was as we were standing in 2" of water/oil/fuel and God knows what else with a power line was arcing at the corner of the building, a 500 gallon propane tank about 40' away had a hose line that was on fire, 5 acetylene tanks were near the doorway just in front of us and several 55 gallon drums of racing fuel were exploding and going airborne all around us. Took about 2 hours to get the fire under control and NO one was injured. Someone was watching out for us.

----Looks like a decent 67. Was the hood stripe as far off as this pictured 67? I'm referring to the spear.....Bill S
