More commonly known as "Peckers Point"---Overlooking LAX from La Brea hills 1949.

 

Mike Lymans restaurant at LAX--Built at WWII's end in late 40's.

No smog today!

 

Don, sounds good, we have a cyclone about 200 miles away and heading our way. Very windy and heavy rain (no smog ha ha )

 

Why don't somebody with running boards try this out,I would like to hear what reactions you get.

 

That's some cool history there. Mike Lyman ran The Flight Deck restaurant back when LAX was the Los Angeles Municipal Airport. Lyman had two other popular restaurants in Hollywood and downtown going back to the 1930's.

The building pictured above was built in 1961.

Actually, it was built and first opened as part of the major renovation of LAX in 1961. It rotated originally, but does not these days. Currently, it is known as the Encounter Restaurant.
Before 1961, the LAX terminal consisted of white wood buildings with a deck you use to watch the planes. It was a "walk out to the planes and up the stairs onto the planes" type of thing in those days.
