The flight occurred with Lt Weddington piloting and Lt Hamilton descending under a perfectly opened parachute. He landed seven miles northeast of the field after a largely windless ascent and a brief engulfing current. The flight was witnessed and validated on the field and will be sent to Washington for calibration.
