Lockheed L-1011 TriStar —

where do you get all of these old photos?

I had been married for two weeks. My wife had to go to school in Santa Monica for a week. So I went with her as a honeymoon. With her in school I went to LAX ops and ask them if I could take airplane pictures from a parking lot. They told me when I got there talk to the guard and he would let me in on the ops side of the fence. I did and got in. I spent about 2 hours there just having a ball. All I had was a cheap camera. I have had these pictures in storage for 40 years. Now I am going through them and digitizing them. I have a lot that have gone bad. As an aviation nut I was in Heaven for two hours.

A treasure trove in these pictures.
