ote from the Director by Hugh Van Voorst In this issue of Illinois Aviation we have listed places where you can obtain flight training in Illinois. Look it over and find the one nearest you that meets your needs, and start your continuing aviation training today. There is great value in venturing forth into new aircraft ratings. How about getting some training in a sailplane, rotorcraft or balloon? Continuing your aviation training is absolutely the best insurance one can get to guarantee a lifetime of good flying habits and techniques. In this, the 100th year of aviation, it is great that the National Air Tour will be returning to its historic roots in Illinois. From the period of 1925-1931 Illinois provided annual stops for this aviationbuilding event. Lansing Municipal Airport will be one of the first stops for National Air Tour 2003, a 4000 mile, and 26 city odyssey for over 25 vintage aircraft. Lansing (then Chicago-Hammond), hosted a stop on the 1927 Ford Air Tour. At that time a feature was its then new Ford Aircraft Hangar (which currently is on the National Register of Historic Places). On Sept. 9, 2003, the Lansing ramp and skyline should feature Sikorsky Flying Boats, Ford and Stinson Trimotors, and a number of other aircraft from aviation’s formative Roaring '20s. This should be a great opportunity to see aviation history –in the air and not in a museum. For more information on this all volunteer effort contact the Aviation Foundation of America at (651) 255-1999 or at their web site at nationalairtour.org.

They set out from Springfield Airport in the Miss Springfield to attempt the record once more. Although forced to land by an electrical storm, the brothers exceeded the record by flying 343:46. With threat of war brewing in Europe, the brothers became flight instructors and prepared cadets for wartime flying missions; both later became captains in the 45th Group of the Royal Air Force. After World War II, Humphrey continued instructing under the GI Bill at Moody Farm Airport, Dalton City, IL, until it was closed in 1952.
