Half a day later another Boeing plane cracked up. This one was a twin-motor transport being tested by United Air Lines. Taking off from Cheyenne at night in a gentle snowfall, it droned away with four aboard. Chief Test Pilot M. T. Arnold was on duty; three other United employes went along for a "pleasure ride."
