Temperatures plummeted from 98 degrees Sunday to only about 50 degrees on Wednesday, Sept. 9, as I sat in the coffee shop chatting with Sam Seafeldt, the airport manager at Lee Bird Field in North Platte.

The AirMail 100^th Centennial Flight was expected at 1345 CDT, but, due to mechanical trouble with the first plane and storms in the Millard area, the plane’s arrival was now expected at 1722 CDT. This was nearly the same time the first air mail plane arrived at this field exactly 100 years ago, although Lee Bird field was not yet officially an air field until 1921.
