Early color photographs of #SFO are rare, so we’re excited to share a recent gift to our collection. This photo from 1947 shows a United Air Lines aircraft in front of the Airport’s 1937 terminal building along with 3 of the original airplane hangars built in 1927/8. #TBT #avgeek

Financial troubles began to plague the company leading to bankruptcy in 1970, yet the airline was able to still operate until 1976. SFO Helicopter Airlines resumed scheduled passenger service around 1983, but operations only lasted until 1985.#DefunctThursday #SFOHelicopter
