I The body of James Lemmon, 5, of 3 Perry Avenue, who was drowned THERE'S a strange, eerie fascination about watching planes land and take off at night a magnet that is drawing many Pittsburg.iers to the City-County Airport virtually every night these days to watch passenger and maii planes arrive and depart. The lateness of the hours 12:50 a.

m. for the Transcontinental fc Western westbound mail and 2:18 a. m. for the eastbound. seems to make no difference.

Groups of interested spectators may be found at the port whenever the weather permits flying, night attendants tay. Pennsylvania Airlines i-motors flying the evening run from Washington to Cleveland have been using the port. Those planes, generally carrying full quotas of passengers and mail, land at 7:30 p. m. and take off for Cleveland 10 minutes later.

MANY veteran pilots contend thev'd rather fly at night than during the day time, given clear weather. For one thing, the air is generally "smoother" at night. Myriad lights twinkling far below as roaring motors grind out their song of power yield a feeling of utter security to riders along the night air lines. With the exception of the late Pennsylvania Airlines northbound, none of the ships operating through Pittsburgh on mght schedules carry passengers. Transcontinental Western passengers on the late afternoon eastbound tri-motor get a touch of night flying before reaching Newark, but the night planes through here carry mail only.

Local attaches of that line, however, predict that it won't be long untii Pittsburghers can ride the night ships east and west. And even veteran plane riders who have done all their traveling by day will "get a kick" out of night Ilying.
