4:58 am
smooth landing. and he said, what in the hell are you doing in the front seat? and i just pointed to that stick, which is like the stick that you fly the airplane with and it was on the floorboard. and when he saw that, he said, now you know you have the right stuff to be a pilot. and that was before john glenn had the right stuff. >> and what happened on the morning of january 1s6th, 1965, that brought the worst military aviation disaster in kansas history? >> the problem arise owes january 16th. it's about 11 degrees outside. the men arrive at the base well before 8:00 a.m. they prep the chest, they get ready to go. at 9:27 a.m. a, they depart. they leave the runway with 31,000 gal yoens of jet fuel. about three minutes into the flight, the pilot calls may day, may day, mayday, and they're

never heard from again. the plane crash occurred on january 16th, 1965, and it occurs earl that morning around 9:30 a.m. the plane went down about 20th and piot street in the northeast end of wichita. it crash landed in a section of wichita that was typically referred to as the african-american community. 97% of the african-americans were living in this section of wichita. 14 homes are immediately destroyed. fire is everywhere. destruction is everywhere. ultimately, 30 lives are lost. and i found there was no substantive history there. i just could not believe that 30 lives were taken, that there was no memorial and this is and remains the worst disaster in this state's history and there's not more on it? >> watch our cities tour program saturday at noon eastern on c-span2's book tv and sunday
