Considerable excitement was occasioned west of town one day last week when a plane landed in the Knox pasture. Many feared that the plane was wrecked, but this soon proved to be wrong. The fact of the matter was, Earl Favingor of Kansas City, piloting the plane, was delivering some auto repairs to his father-in-law, James H. White, who lives on the Philo Harris farm. Favingor had planned to land in the field on his father-in-law’s farm, but had not judged the distance quite right and landed in the Knox field instead. This is probably the first delivery of auto parts via aeroplane ever made in Tonganoxie.
