Passengers at San Francisco Airport in the 1930s-40s might have had luggage labels like these affixed to suitcases. Free advertisement for the airlines, the labels, which could be quite elaborate, were souvenirs that bestowed bragging rights to their owners. #TravelTuesday This tweet was posted on April 13, 2021.
Given how much and how quickly airports have evolved, it’s almost unfathomable to think that one of the buildings from the era of the 1937 Administrative Building remained until 1997. #SFOHistory This tweet was posted on April 06, 2021.

The San Francisco Airport of yore paid just as much attention to detail to the look and feel of its passenger areas as @flySFO does today. The 1937 Administration Building cost $160,000 to build and was funded through the Federal Public Works Administration. #SFOHistory This tweet was posted on March 23, 2021.

As the commercial aviation industry grew in the early 1930s, it became apparent that San Francisco Airport needed to enlarge and enhance their passenger facilities. Construction began in 1936 for a new administration building. #SFOHistory This tweet was posted on March 16, 2021.
@DevinMcCutchen It was never a part of our collection - it belonged to the Airport. Our collections scope doesn’t allow for *actual* planes. While we’re sad to see it go, we’re sure it will find a good home. This tweet was posted on March 03, 2021.

Bay Area local Eugene Leach (1919-2000) spent his teenage years watching the planes take off and land at Oakland Airport and operating a ham radio. The hobbies merged in a career as a radio operator for #PanAm. This tweet was posted on January 29, 2021.
The first flight of the Boeing 727 was #OnThisDay in 1963. The medium range and capacity of the 727 made it suitable for shorter flights and for regional airports with short runways. #OTD #avgeek This tweet was posted on February 09, 2021.
Each airport around the world is assigned a three-letter @IATA (International Air Transport Association) code to make them easily and quickly identifiable. San Francisco International Airport’s three letter code, SFO, first appeared in 1947. @flysfo #avgeek #MuseumFromHome This tweet was posted on January 07, 2021.
