This Hornet I believe was assigned to VFA-122 for training purposes as VFA-103 was transitioning to the F-18F at the time, hence the odd modex. The Bearcat in the background is N198F/122637. Taken prior to the 2005 Planes of Fame airshow.

The DC-6 still carried United Air Lines passengers in the late 1960s. N37528 served with them from 1947 until 1968. This is a small fragment of an overview photo, still of decent quality thanks to a large scan of a good 4×5 in negative. Photo by: Marshall Moxom / SFO Museum

Helicopter shuttle service from the Ferry Building in San Francisco to the Candlestick Park baseball stadium. The operator is Bay Aviation Services, a member of the National Air Taxi Service scheme. The location is not the nearby Downtown Heliport, but a pier on the other side of the Ferry Building. The Downtown Heliport opened in 1956, but following the crash of a Rick Helicopters chopper it was presumably closed until San Francisco & Oakland Helicopter Airlines took off in 1961.
