Near collision between two jets at Spokane airport
Officials of the National Transportation Safety Board and pilots and crews of two planes narrowly missed each other Thursday morning behind closed doors. The Northwest Airlines DC 10 had just taken off when a Hughes Airwest DC 9 missed a landing and passed over the airstrip. Both planes carried 181 people in total and came within about 20 feet as they moved westward. Investigators will review flight recorders at a Washington, DC facility. FAA and NTSB anticipate two weeks for initial conclusions.

Historic Flight Reenacted In Rainstorm To Boise
United pilot Capt. E E Buck Hilbert reenacted the 1926 first U S airmail by flying 244 miles from Pasco Washington to Boise Idaho in an open cockpit Swallow biplane under heavy rain. He flew 33 minutes faster than the original with detours around storms and at altitudes from 3000 to 8000 feet. Cuddeback, the original flyer, joined the Boise welcome as Hilbert’s party crossed the clouds. Four of Hilbert’s six children watched the chilly event as the plane landed to warm cheers.

EPA Head Criticizes Proposal To Postpone Water Standards
Deputy EPA administrator John R. Quarles condemned a National Commission on Water Quality plan to waive 1977 water quality rules when costs exceed benefits. He warned such waivers would invite non compliance and delay the 1983 fishable swimmable goal, arguing the staff report does not support delaying the needed measures.
