Wagons in vintage Street scenes

#7858...
I remember doing this exact same thing at this same location. Dad used to drive us over to the airport here. We'd get out of the car and get buzzed by the planes, just as you see here. This was also right around the time that the 707's and DC8's were being introduced, so there was a good mix of jets and propeller aircraft.

Greg Herbert remembers piling into the station wagon and the family heading down to LAX. They would make it an outing just to see the planes land. You used to get pretty close to the runaways before they built the big fences. Photo taken 1950's by Mary Herbert. | Click image for Comments. | Home

Don't know if the Plymouth building is still there. Can't remember seeing it when I was a kid. Would make a great back drop for a picture of the Fury if I still lived in minnesota.
