Yup! These photos were all before my time, but as a kid whenever at a tag sale and I saw the Aurora stuff I grabbed it. I've got a big plastic tote bin in the basement FULL of it.

SWI66, Thanks for the Sea-Tac & Floating Bridge pix.I can remember being at Sea-Tac
early 1947. At that time IIRC it was called Bowlake Airport and the Floating Bridge still
had the yellow/orange lighting at night.
