PSA Lockheed Electra flight, Spring 1964


Aunt Jean drove us to San Francisco International Airport for our return to Southern California. Mom had me make our reservations, and PSA, flying the Lockheed Electra, had the cheapest airfare at $13.50 each, one-way. This would be my first flight after so many years of gazing skyward in Whittier and then finally South Gate, to see all of the many aircraft flying overhead and wondering what it might be like to be aboard. Our flight was smooth and quiet the whole way back to Los Angeles International. The skies were sunny and almost cloudless. Over Southern California especially, I could see all of the aqua-blue swimming pools sparkling in the suburban backyards all over the LA Basin.
