Thompson Flying Service, and Boeing Air Transport Company, all of Salt Lake City. He had flown as "co-pilot" or as a reserve with Transport License number 4086 and logged more than 1,200 hours of flying time. After filing his application, Warner started working for Varney Air Lines flying between Salt Lake City, Utah, and Pasco, Washington, via Boise, Idaho, on CAM-5. Emergency landing On a night flight from Boise, Idaho to Pasco, Washington on August 22, 1930 (2:10 a.m.), while over the wooded mountains of Oregon near Durkee, Oregon, Warner suddenly became aware of the strong smell of gasoline. While choking from the fumes, Warner pointed the nose of the plane toward the emergency field at Baker, Oregon just thirty miles to the east. Warner knew that if he cut the throttle to the motor it would back-fire, turning his airplane into a ball of fire. He almost lost consciousness twice and knew fire was inevitable but it came sooner than he expected. Just four miles from Baker Airport, fire broke out.

Dive on Ustick, Idaho During another night flight, for United Airlines on CAM-5, Warner was en route to Portland from Boise, just after midnight on March 21, 1933.

Warner noticed there was no one around so he began to dive his plane on the small village, his motors roaring. He continued making pass after pass until the locals began to turn on their lights and look out
