Name
editWould Grand Central Airport (Glendale) be a better name? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. The original name was Glendale Municipal, then Glendale Air Terminal in 1929, finally after the war it was Grand Central Airport. Today the focus is on the terminal because that's all that's left. JohnClarknew (talk) 14:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Credits
editDon't know if, how, or where to mention credits for the old pictures. Many are to be found at the Special Collections room at the Glendale Public Library, and of course without such sources and links, this page couldn't be illustrated. Regardless, thanks is hereby offered to every source. JohnClarknew (talk) 19:15, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Runway numbers and call sign
editDoes anyone know what these were when it was still operational? Needs to be added. JohnClarknew (talk) 18:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Airport Name 1920s
editOn the Boeing timetable for 1929 it says for the Los Angeles airport "Angeles Mesa Drive Airport" -- is that another name for this airport or was there yet another field used in LA in the 20s? JoeD80 (talk) 20:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- I found the 1930 timetable. It was Burbank airport that they flew to and called "Los Angeles" JoeD80 (talk) 20:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
