California coastline at the end of LAX, 1967

This was taken from the unobstructed window of a Bonanza Airlines F-27A as we took off from LAX one morning.  I have lost one photograph I always prized of the wheel of that F-27A going up into the engine housing.  Everyone who saw the picture assumed that I had been hanging under the aircraft to get that shot when I was simply looking out the window as the landing gear was retracted.  The F-27's were one of the few high-wing aircraft then in service with the airlines.
