I do not believe Western ever served Burbank with the L-188 Electra. In the early 1960's, WA was operating DC-6B service between BUR and SFO; however, Western then discontinued all service into Burbank. BTW, they did operate Electra service into Long Beach (LGB), Ontario (ONT) and Palm Springs (PSP) during mid 1960's. WA finally returned to BUR during the mid 1980's when they introduced B737-300 service between the airport and their Salt Lake City (SLC) hub.
And here comes our usual afternoon thundershower. Plus, for added excitement, NWS has issued a Special Weather Statement for tropical funnel clouds which are weak tornadoes aloft that do not touch down.....usually.
