South Park Scene Seen as Ideal Airfield Site
Hundreds visited South Side Park to inspect the tri motor Ford monoplane brought by B B Snow and the Seitz School of Aeronautics crew. Snow praised the municipal airport but warned it would need enlargement for larger planes. The site was cited as ideal for location and topography, with extra land needed to become a major field amid growing air traffic potential. The landing area, overgrown, was cleared for safe use, with city teams and Battery C helpers preparing the field. The Ford monoplane cost about 50000 dollars, featuring a 76 foot wing span and a lengthy nose to propeller.
