PSA 727-200 at San Jose airport, 12/31/67

Rick Barry, who at the time played for the Oakland Oaks of the ABA, was on our flight.  The top photograph shows a Pacific Airlines F-27 and our bus from out of the window of our 727.  In those days, the San Jose airport looks to be out in the middle of nowhere, no longer true these days.  Another anachronism in the bottom photograph:  We exited through the rear exit of the 727-200.  After the inflight DB Cooper escapade, and escape using that rear exit, those rear doors were incapacitated, and I don't believe anyone was able to use them afterwards to disembark.  Besides, with the later widespread use of jet ways, nobody exited except through the front doorway of all civilian airliners.
