The pilots said they were flying at 550 miles per hour when they passed over the arena. Eight pilots who participated in the Saturday and Sunday show were guests of the Jubilee with Ross Dill acting as host. Four flyers who were to fly Sunday were guests Saturday and the Saturday flyers were guests Sunday. Two pilots who flew Sunday also came back to Morton Sunday afternoon with their wives to catch the last part of the Jubilee celebration.”
