There were railroad style gates at the north and south sides of the airport. When a very heavily laden aircraft wished to depart, the gates were lowered and we just ripped on across Sepulveda until we managed to get the beast airborne! Aw, for the good old days.

I was thinking, how about you writing your memoirs for posterity, Bob. It would make great reading for a generation that would never in their wildest dreams be able to conceive what it was like in the old days. I find it useful to scan through my log book, which usually brings back the particulars of a flight. I'd love to serialize them on the website with your permission. What do you think?
