The crowd, composed of some politically active persons, some interested sightseers out to see the brand new airport and several small children dismissed from the school, gathered at the airport.
Before Agnew arrived at the airport in a chair American Airlines announced he had excited. By the time the vice president left, the airline had calmed considerably.

Helicopter Highlights KU Game

Before the helicopter lifted off the hill above Memorial Stadium, several fans going to the Kansas-Nebraska football game walked up to the helicopter, the only sound that could be heard was the whine of the jet engine as it started the huge blades spinning. The white grew to a roar, then to a settled groan, then as the ground gently fell away.
Riding in a helicopter felt the way it looked. There was award pitch, which made the ground rush underneath, and everything became increasingly like the helicopter left the ground.
There were fleeting impressions half a mile away with Nebraska red. Everything moved by so quickly that he was hardly believable.
It was easy to say that the objects beneath were unrecognizable, that this was a town you have never seen before, because the buildings and streets are so strange from this altitude.

Talking was possible, but it was not worth the effort it took to lean over and yell.

Along with several supporters of the University of Kansas, Dick Caldwell, now executive vice-president of the company, will serve and service to and from the Lawrence Airport during football games.
The company charges $5 for a one-way ride to the stadium or airport.
After several sharp turns, the helicopter was gently lowering to a spot that had looked desecroscopic only a few moments before.
Although this rate may seem inflated, Caldwell said the cost was high mainly because the airplane must to make the return trip empty.
"Also, there is expense to gasoline, upkeep, and the flight from Kansas City before any other trip can be taken," Caldwell said.
So far, the company has taken four or five loads of people to and from the game each week.

Suddenly both school and town were gone and there was nothing but the Kaw River and open fields.
Many are disgusted at the price and pay $2 for a taxicab to the game, but there are always people who take the helicopter at the last minute. To many who rode the aircraft, the trip was not only transportation, but part of the fun of the day as well. They always waved to those on the ground.
After a game, it was even more of an adventure when the return to the airport. Often there were more passengers on the plane than on the flight to the stadium.

Company officials said they hoped to continue their taxi operation in Kansas City with a similar service from three points in the city to the newly-opened Kansas City International Airport.
