WOW!!! The good ole' days at Long Beach. Nice picture.

I remember some of those old Convairs at Mugu, flying workers out to San Nicolas Island. I think their call sign was "Island Lord XX", or something like that.

BAD GUYS!

Great pictures.

I assume it was some sort of ex, but why was it run out of KLGB and not Los Al?

Same reason why the military loves going to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway and Grand Junction.

Pull in, hand the guy a credit card for gas, go watch football on the plasma. It's a lot more convenient for them.

(You get free sodas and pizza at Grand Junction as well)

makes sense...How do we talk them into coming to VNY more often?

Probably not VNY.  They go out to the Pacific to do their ACM and LBG is so close to the ocean.  I think that's why and the perks they get like Ken said.

Oh well. At least we have Chuck Thornton's T-38 and F-5, as well as some L-39's at VNY.
