Kaneohe NAS

Gave instruction to four pilots today. Hillis and Pierson, lieutenants of VP14. And Alley and Bruce, j.g.s of some other outfit, 72, I think. All did very well. This instructing work is very tiring as one must be on the alert every second against mistakes. Several landings were also very “thrilling.”

Buzzed the dog quarantine station again this morning. Could see Beeza and her cohorts training their dogs. Went over at about 100 ft. And flipped my port wing down as I passed over.
