Another West Coaster with fond memories of Western, PSA (loved those smiling faces pained on the noses of the planes), World Airways and, of course, Pan Am. Oh and anyone remember the SFO helicopter? My family and I used to park our car in Oakland and then take that helicopter (what did it hold - like 8 people?) to SFO frequently.

My fondest memory is being about 13 or 14 and out of school for summer. My friends and I would try to plot how we could get places throughout the Bay Area to find some fun. I'd call Western and PSA pretty much daily to check on fares and possible schedules from OAK to SJC and OAK to SFO. They phone line people thought I was nuts, but they always helped.
