Good Morning Nico,
Just as a bit of trivia, in years past, Sepulveda Boulevard crossed the LAX airport on the surface instead of via a tunnel as it does now. 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.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Very interesting.
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?
Thanks
Nico

Good Morning Nico,
You are very kind, but these old man musings are strictly for fun!
If you care to collect anything I have written, I would be honored to know that you have the interest. Anything I have ever sent over the internet is certainly in the public domain and open to whatever anyone wants to do with it.
Thanks again.
Hope to get to meet you and many others on this list some time soon.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob
