THE HERALD-NEWS — Wolf Point, Roosevelt County, Montana
George Loftu^ Wolf Point’s fly.
ing insurance man, made a forced
landing last week when he was
forced down due to water in the
gasoline tank of the plane he was
flying .back to Wolf Point.
Mr. Loftus left Wolf Point on
Jan, 18 for Minneapolis for the
purpose of flying back a Deluxe
Taylorcraft plane that hdd been
purchased by Dr. R. D. Knapp and
Dr. J. C. Mosca of this city.
Taking off from the Northport
airfield on Jan. 21 in the face of
a fairly heavy head wind and in
below-zero weather, Mr Loftus
reached Fargo, N. Dak., in the late
afternoon. While at Fargo he took
time out to go to Moorhead,
Minx., just across the river, where
he visited with his daughter, Len
nore, a student at Concordia col
lege there.
Leaving Fargo the next day,
headed for Montana, Mr. Loftus
landed and re-fueled at James
town where a strong head-wind
| was again encountered. Upon leav
ing Jamestown and about 42 miles
east of Bismarck while flying at
around 500 feet, - Loftus’ motoi
started to sputter and about 30
seconds later it failed completely.
After a hasty appraisal of the
landing possibilities Mr. Loftus
managed a safe landing, just miss
ing a number of fairly large rocks
that w^re scattered about the
field. Leaving the plane where he
landed Loftus walked out to the
highway and secured a ride from
a passing motorist to Bismarck
where he contacted airport offi
cials. The aid of two airplane
mechanics was secured and after
an examination of the plane was
made, about a pint of water was
taken from the gas tank. The find
ings of the mechanics were re
ported to the CAA.
Mr. Loftus stayed over night in
Bismarck and proceeded westward,
arriving in Wolf Point Wednes
day afternoon where the .plane was
turned over to its new owners.
