Unscheduled Solo Is Ended By Good Landing
MEMPHIS Memphis AP An unscheduled 30 minute solo flight in a Navy T28 trainer left metal smith 2c David L Shrode shaking but his landing was perfect though he had never before flown alone. Shrode became airborne while taxiing the plane to test its brakes. He overpowered the brake test. He was given a landing lesson by George T Coffin 28 of Memphis who flew alongside Shrode. Cmdr Jerry Novak said Shrode's landing was the most beautiful I've ever seen in a T28.
