Aviation Is Big Interest At Mentone To the casual observer Mentone may seem a typical midwestern town—and truly it is a typical one in many respects but there is more than meets the eye. Take, for example, aviation. Who would think that a small community of about 800 should have an .airport with blacktop runway, 14 hangars, fuel, lights, attendants, etc.? If the question must be answered, the answer is Allen (Chick) Herendeen with his enthusiasm and interest, together with the faith and confidence he has nurtured for the past several years. The recent impetus of flying is not new to this farming community of Mentone. Since 1940 it has had “Chick’s Landing Strip”, located on his farm near Mentone. The considerable interest on aviation prior to World War II saw many Piper Cubs and Crampions do their “thing” there. During this time a local native son, Lawrence D. Bell (founder of Bell Aircraft) became famous. As World War II came, the momentum was lost and the obvious was imminent. It “ain’t” easy to recapture that which was lost. But determination and will power are the key ingredients to success. By prodding once, by prodding twice, and by prodding again the top can be reached. And that is exactly what the aviation people have been doing* First it was offering pilot training under the G. I. Bill, then in 1956 it dawned on the late Dr. Dan Urschel (another famous son — well known as the National Past President of the Flying Physicians) and “Chick” Herendeen the possibility of forming a flying club. Thus, io and behold, the Mentone Flying Club, Incorporated, was born. Its humble beginning boasted nine members and a flyable and dearly beloved * “Champ.” The club has fared well. At the present time there
