Hi Gang,

  

 I have a slide of a NASA Commander  taken in December 1968, at "LAT" airport.

  

 This doesn't seem to be a  current code.

  

 My memory is saying Los Angeles Air Terminal, but  that source of data just cannot be relied upon.

  

 Any 'old -timers' out there who can  help?



 Very Best Regards,

 Barry

Hi Gang,

  

 Ah! Memory recall - a rare event nowadays  ;-0

  

 I think "LAT" is Lockheed Air Terminal, at  Burbank.

  

 If I'm wrong, no doubt somebody well let me  know.

  

 Best Regards,

 Barry

Hi Bob,

  

 Yep! That's what I finally deduced too!

 Sir Barry,

  

 Can you scan the photo and upload it?  I bet one or two of us would actually recognize the field!

Hi Keith,

  

 I've attached a scan of the color slide in question. As  you'll see, there isn't much to go on in the way detail in the  background.

  

 I'm sure though now that "LAT" is Lockheed Air Terminal  and this had its name changed in 1975, to "Burbank Glendale-Pasadena  Airport".

  

 Very Best Regards,

 Barry

Was it Old Bob, Ancient Aviator, that called it Lockheed Air Terminal?

  

 I grew up down there.   From the ridge line and the small hill to the right of the tail, the vegetation (lack of) and smog layer,  I'd say it looks like the area for sure.

Not to mention the smog!  

   

Looks like Burbank to me.

Not in answer to your LAT question, but at least  some trivia about the Lockheed Airport(s) beginnings...   go  to   http://www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_SanFernan.htm#lockheedb1    to view these "ghost-airfields"  of the day... very cool.

"The Lockheed factory airstrip was in use until  about 1941, when the P-38 came out. 

The P-38s were towed down Empire Street in the  middle of the night to the newly acquired Burbank (Union) Air  Terminal, 

which was renamed 'Lockheed Air  Terminal'".
