The weather on the spot was blowy but no tempest. The plane had the best of equipment, even a unique loop antenna made static-proof by enclosure in the ship's transparent plexiglass nose. Lockheed 143's can maintain their height on one engine and it seemed incredible that both could have cut out simultaneously.
