^ I A SIGHT FROM THE PAST, a replica of a 1912 Curtiss pusher, is piloted by John
Pruett of A&M at the Research Annex.
Seven straight for Band
£z4
i^rvruA/voj)
ft®
Taking a deep breath, the
Aggie Band plunges Saturday
into an unprecedented seven
straight weekends of football ap
pearances.
The Texas Tech game Satur
day night at Kyle Field and
A&M’s final six games will be
its longest string of perform
ances since before Lt. Col. E. V.
Adams became director in 1946.
Idle the last two weeks while
the Aggie football team was on
road trips to Columbus, Ohio, and
Ann Arbor, Mich., the band will
log nine games during the 1970
season, including the Wichita
State and LSU games.
New Music and the Aggie
Band’s salute to Aggie Sweet
heart Sue Binford will highlight
the A&M-Tech game.
Formation of Miss Binford’s
name from goalline to goalline
will be set to a semi-popular
musical selection Colonel Ad
ams acquired at the Texas Band
masters Association convention
last summer in San Antonio.
It is a march based on “Lara’s
Theme” (or “Somewhere My
Love”) from the MGM movie
“Dr. Zhivago.” The march-beat
arrangement has a counter
melody patterned on Tchaikov
sky’s “1812 Overture.”
CS Kiwanis install officers
The Kiwanis Club of College
Station Tuesday afternoon in
stalled officers for the coming
year.
Cecil McKee, lieutenant gover
nor for Kiwanis District 9, was
present to conduct installation
ceremonies.
In honor of National News
paper Week, representatives of
The Battalion, The Daily Eagle
and The Pictorial Press were
guests at the noon luncheon.
Officers installed are Walter
Manning, associate professor in
the Accounting Department, im
mediate past president; J. Har
vey Caddess, associate professor
in the Mechanical Engineering
Department, president; Walter
H. Parsons Jr., Physical Plant
director, president-elect; Gary T.
Lane, assistant professor in the
Animal Sciences Department,
vice president.
O. B. Haugen, Physical Plant
supervisor; Raymond C. Jones;
and A. C. Magee were installed
as new members of the club’s
board of directors.
Vintage sights and sounds are
seen these days in College Sta
tion and Bryan skies.
That strange apparition circling
against the blue for the last few
days is a replica of the 1912
model Glenn H. Curtiss pusher
aeroplane.
Spidery in appearance with lots
of sky showing through where the
fuselage ought to be, the sight
out of five decades past seats
pilot John Pruett out in the air-
stream on a couple of strips of
wood in front of the highly-cam
bered Biwing.
The second Pruett-built pusher
has the engine behind the wings.
The scimitar-like propeller is op
posite the point where it is usu
ally found.
Sitting amidst bracing wires
and the wood, fabric and medal
construction, Pruett is zipped
around the sky at a blazing speed
of 50 mph, “when I let it out.”
At normal speed, the kite-like
aircraft of the Texas A&M Uni
versity employe seems to hang
motionless in the air.
“Forty years ago,” an observer
remarked, “somebody probably
ran out when a plane like that
flew by and said ‘Look at that
crazy fool, he’s going to kill him
self’.”
Today, with supersonic trans
ports, highspeed jet aircraft,
sleek private planes and space
travel a fact of life, someone
probably looked up from the bar
becue rotisserie in his backyard,
glimpsed the sight straight out of
history and remarked, “Look at
that crazy fool. He’s going to kill
himself.”
Pruett, Texas Forest Service
pilot with 12,000 hours commer
cial flying time behind him, is
used to attention his unique craft
draws.
“Often when I fly over a
house, someone rushes indoors,”
he remarked. “I usually circle
by again, so the others coming
out won’t think the person was
seeing things.”

“I’ve flown over the ballpark
where my kids were playing and
broken up Little League games a
couple of times,” Pruett chortled.
He chugged the 550-pound ship
from the Research Annex to East-
erwood Wednesday evening and
drew a large crowd while fueling
the 10-gallon tank atop the wing.
“There’s the answer to moth
er’s admonition,” a woman re
marked. “She always tells my
brother to fly slowly.”
Pruett afterward took the ship
in which he has logged 100 hours
for a flight over College Station
and Bryan. He banked and stalled
over downtown Bryan for half an
hour.
“If the weather’s right, I may
fly it over Kyle Field at halftime
of the A&M-Arkansas game Oct.
31,” the veteran pilot commented.
He’s worked out an air show
routine, which includes flying by
with his feet swinging back and
forth or flying sideways. With
no fuselage nor vertical fin, the
Pusher will fly at a 45-degree
crab angle, Pruett explained.
He took the first Pusher on a
“barnstorm” tour honoring pio
neer aviation from Crosby, Miss.,
to Huntsville, Ala., “quite a dis
tance for a plane with a cruise
speed of 52 and a 100-mile range.”
He flew for a reunion of World
War I Payne Field (Miss.) vet
erans and a Vicksburg Jaycees’
benefit air show, among others.
Pruett’s first Pusher was sold
in 1964 to Frank Tallman and
Paul Mantz for movie and TV
work. It was used in the Warner
Brothers production “The Great
Race,” sold in a dispersal sale in
1968 and bought back for future
motion picture industry use.
Pusher No. 2, which is kept at
the Flight Mechanics Laboratory
hangar at the Research Annex,
includes some improvements over
No. 1, in both appearance and
flying qualities.
Designed after an original in
the Smithsonian Institution, No. 2
has steel tubing instead of wood
and bamboo for the tail structure,
though the 28 foot, six inch wings
duplicated the original construc
tion technique. Wing ribs were
laminated to form from thin wood
strips. The wings are braced with
300 feet of modern high strength
aircraft cable.
Other modern concessions in
clude an air-cooled light-plane en
gine of 65 horsepower and a mod
ern control system. There being
no place ahead of the pilot for
an instrument panel, it was in
stalled flat beside the pilot at
seat level and holds only essential
engine instruments.
Ailerons are between the wings
and the tail surfaces operate in
the direct blast of the propeller.
