Good year blimp Enterprise, 150 feet long, landed at Fraley field in High Point after a public demonstration. Mayor Earl N. Phillips rode as passenger with Pilot Jim Bode and Enterprise crew, describing 50 to 62 mph speeds, 1,500 feet ascent, and a 600 mile range while noting handling quirks in rough air.
The blimp impressed observers with speed and visibility while noting rapid street development around High Point and potential annexation by the city. It will be moored at Greensboro High Point airport for the night before continuing to Lynchburg and Washington, then Florida for the winter. John W. Spencer arranged field use for Fraley field with Goodyear staff and Junie Smith.
