This was before the expansion of LAX and just before the "jet age". Airline employees would gather at Mike Lymans (sp)Flight Deck. We saw many celebrities like Sammy Davis Jr, Bob Hope, John Wayne, etc. When we relocated to the new LAX, United Airlines Terminal, LAA started expanding with the introduction of the S61L's. I remined with LX until 1968. To this day I feel great heartache over the May and August 1968 crashes. After the second loss in August I left LX and went work for Cal-State Airlines in Long Beach and then to Valley Airlines in San Jose/Oakland. My airline career lasted 16 years. It was a love/hate relationship - mostly love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
