Pacific Southwest
Airlines (PSA) Boeing 727-214 N535PS
(c/n 20161)
By 1967 the airline had grown to the point where it was
able to order some 20 odd series 200 Boeing
727s. They
would later operate over 30 of this, the workhorse of the world's
airlines before they were
absorbed by US Air in
1988. The typical example above was shot by Frank C. Duarte Jr at
a smoggy
LAX in December
of 1978. (Just for the record, L.A. has done a wonderful job in
smog control- it is
not nearly as smoggy in
the L.A. Basin now as it was when I first resided there in the 50s, 60s
and 70s).
