Layne also attended Chadron State College and was one of the first in the area to learn to fly from the Civilian Aeronautics Agency of the federal government. He operated a small airport in Chadron and was drafted into the Navy as a young officer in WWII where he distinguished himself as a flight instructor. This career took him to Pensacola, Fla., where he left the Navy and became a science and math teacher.
