Green Bay Wisconsin: The flying nun from Green Bay, Sister Mary Aquinas, sat in the cockpit of an airplane Saturday before leaving for San Francisco where she will attend a two week science program at the University of San Francisco. The nun will also take an indoctrination course at Hamilton air force base prior to flying in a supersonic aircraft. She hopes to break the sound barrier on one of the flights.
