Dr. Patton Earns Wings, Private Pilot's License
Bv GORDON HUDELSON
The Rev, Patton says one of his main reasons for learning to fly was to keep up with his many speaking engagements.
The "skypilot" got his wings as the Rev. John H. Patton, Presbyterian University pastor and professor in the School of Religion, received his private pilot's license last week after half a year of ground school training and cross country flying.
Dr. Patton first became interested in flying during his first tour of duty with the Air Force as a chaplain at Ft. Nelson, B.C. 1944 to 1946. His interest increased during his second tour of duty with a fighter intercepter squadron in Dover, Del. from 1950 to 1952.
"I spent 20 to 30 hours a month in the air and much of that time was spent in the rear seat of an F94 jet fighter," he said.
Dr. Patton began his flying lessons in November 1954 at the Lawrence airport with the Erhart flying service. Since then he has spent three to four hours per week in ground school studying such
things as civil air regulations, navigation, meteorology, radio, and becoming familiar with different types of aircraft.
As soon as the instructor thought his pupil was ready, Dr. Patton took the controls for the first time and began applying what he had learned on the ground. He spent about three hours a week in the air.
