Silas Christofferson
The following year, 1913, again brought a nationally known aviator to Salt Lake City. In August, Salt Lake City was celebrating its annual “Wizard of the Wasatch Festival”, a carnival and parade of progress, and hired the owner of the Christofferson Aviation Company in San Francisco to perform. Silas Christofferson was a leading California aviator, designing and manufacturing his own planes and teaching aviators in “the science of aerial navigation”. On June 11, 1912, Silas had flown the roof of the Multnomah Hotel in Portland, Oregon, across the Columbia River to Vancouver, Washington. He and his brother Harry came to Salt Lake City to open the Wizard of the Wasatch Festival on August 29, 1913.
