...blue, open-cockpit Stearman PT-17 trainer some 20-odd years old. "Everything these days has two engines, five radios and windshield wipers," complained Pete Bowers, 45, an engineer for Boeing. "That's fine for traveling, but not for flying." Then he climbed into his 1912 Bullock-Curtis tri-wing pusher, bounced off the runway at 35 m.p.h., churned over the field doing at least 50, landed and stopped in about...

He had clearly decided that the moment was not yet ripe for a showdown with Baath leaders in both Iraq and Syria, especially since the projected tri-state United Arab Republic is still not formed.

...Since its founding in 1946, reliable Scandinavian Airlines System always turned a profit-until last year, when ambitious expansion projects brought a loss of $16 million on revenues of $127 million. Last week SAS's tri-nation board (Sweden, Norway, Denmark) set off a public uproar by firing popular Managing Director Ake Rusck, 49, and hiring coolly brilliant Kurt Nicolin, 40. An aeronautical engineer who helped design Sweden's first jet engine, Nicolin comes to SAS "on loan" from ASEA, Sweden's largest electrical complex, where he has been managing director...
