Navy Ensign Milton A. Lenz, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton H. Lenz of route 2, Colby, and husband of the former Kathleen J. White, route 2, Maiden Rock, made six carrier qualification landings about the aircraft carrier USS Lexington in the Gulf of Mexico.

Prior to making the landings he was required to qualify on field carrier landing strips made to simulate an actual carrier’s flight deck. Here he learned to adjust himself to the restricted area on which he must land at sea.

As a member of the Navy’s “Flattop Fraternity,” he is now qualified to proceed to more advanced stages of aviation training.
