The First West Plains' Aeroplane
by Brittany
Once when I was little I saw an aeroplane flying over West Plains,
Missouri. My name is Brittany, an d I am 6 years old. I lived in
West Plains so I got to see the plane when it flew over. The year
was 1918.
There was a telephone call from my cousin at Mammoth Spring, Arkansas,
telling me that the plane was coming our way. It took 30 minutes
to fly from Mammoth Spring to West Plains. It was 10:00 in the morning
when the plane flew over our town. Flags were flying, and the motor
was roaring. It looked like it was flying on magic wings. The people
were so excited they fell on the ground. The animals tried to escape
because of the loud noise. One horse almost got loose but the owner
stopped it. My dog, Angel, ran away to chase the plane, but we caught
her. Angel is a poodle.
The aeroplane was a canva s color. The pilot in the plane was tall.
He was wearing goggles. He had a scarf too. The man looked funny.
He even waved the wings at us to say, "Hello!" Then flags
fell from the wings that said, "The first aero plane to fly
over West Plains!" The plane did a loop and left.
When the plane was out of sight, everyone went back to their homes
and cried. The did not want the plane to leave. But when they saw
candy falling from the sky, their crying stopped. The people were
happy again. That was the story of the first aeroplane to fly over
West Plains.

is David Crocker. I am twenty years old. I am in West Plains because
I am going to college. I was riding around the square during open
gym and heard a loud roar . Everybody pointed up at the aeroplane.
The aviator waved down at us. He was flying very high. The strange
machine was HUGE and was a creamy-yellow color.
I like automobiles and drive our black Model T Ford. I have a seventeen-year-old
sister who is in her junior year of high school. My mom is forty-six
and stays home. My dad is forty-eight and works at a mill in New
York. I am enrolling at West Plains City College. I will be a sophomore.

Once when I was little I saw an aeroplane flying over West Plains,
Missouri. My name is Damon. I am six years old and live in West
Plains. The year is 1918.
I was riding my bicycle in the yard when I heard a roaring noise
coming up the railroad tracks. I saw a horse rear up and heard people
yelling, "Look at the HUGE aeroplane!"
I saw the aviator in the plane wave at the people on the ground.
He flew in a big circle around the town. On the back of the aeroplane
was a flag. The yellow aeroplane had two wings. It flew over the
courthouse. It took the aeroplane 30 minutes to fly from Mammoth
Spring, Arkansas, to West Plains, Missouri. Then it left West Plains,
Missouri, at 10:20 p.m. I thought the aeroplane was COOL!
The pilot wore goggles and a long sleeve shirt. He had dark brown
hair that was short. He flew high above the trees. The aeroplane
flew over the Quill on it's way out of town. The pilot flew the
aeroplane right through the middle of a barn that had big, wide
doors. That's my story about the West Plains' aeroplane.
