#OnThisDay in 1927, Mills Field was officially dedicated. San Francisco had the barest necessities for an airport - an airstrip and an unfinished Administration Building - when the dedication took place. Thirty-seven planes, participating in a State Aeronautical Conference, sat on the ground during the brief ceremony and then roared down the dirt airstrip to fly on to Sacramento. 📸: Mills Field Municipal Airport of San Francisco; May 7, 1927 Transfer 2011.032.0005, .0006, .0008 This image was posted on May 07, 2021.
