FLIGHT OVER RATNT PASS
Anchorage Times. .
The flight from McGratht-to An*
chorage, through the mo on tan region,
is one of the most delightful imagin
able, according to Mrs. Owen Gray,
one of the three women passengers
who were brought to Anchorage last
week by Pilot Merrill. She has been
over the MeGrath-Fairbanks ^ route,
having made a flight to Fairbanks
with Pilot Bennett, and she declares
that the Jtainy Pass route is much
more interesting, with gorgeous1
scenery all the way. Mrs, Gray said
she had been led to believe that ,the
Raiqy Pass flight involved t greater,
risk than the flight from >4£6rath to
Fairbanks, but she > was unable to de
tect nay particular difference be
tween the two routes in that respect..
One impressed her as being about as.
safe as the other.
“One feels perfectly safe with a
pilot like Mr. Merrill at the control,”
Mrs. Gray declared enthusiastically
in telling of the flight. “He does not
take any risk and he , harries his
plane with a skill that sets the minds,
of his passengers at . rest. They just
seem to knqw that they are going
through safely; at any rate, it never
oocuixed to us to be afraid, and we
surely enjoyed the ride in the com
fortable cabin plane of the Anchorage
Air Transport.”
