I really don't question the 1928 story that much. In 1928, Wichita was an aviation crazy city at that time . A lot of things were happening - air mail, flights out to the outlying oil fields, air tournaments, along with an emerging aircraft manufacturing industry. A flight of a basketball team out to Hayes wouldn't have been as crazy as it seems.
