Inspired by San Francisco Airport’s 1937 terminal building, the Aviation Library & Museum is an architectural adaptation of the 1937 terminal’s waiting room and incorporates many similar architectural features. The 1937 waiting room measured 83 ft by 43 ft. #52Objects #SFOHistory

Although the four hangars were conceived as temporary structures, Hangar No. 4 stood until 1999. For disassembly and relocation, central attach points for the hangars’ steel frame were fastened with nuts and bolts rather than rivets. #MillsField #SFOHistory

What did @flySFO look like #onthisday in 1940? The 1937 Terminal and Hangars 1-4 are visible, as are the runways. Beginning in 1935 as part of FDR’s New Deal, runway “C” was extended from 1,900 to 3,000 feet. (The runways now measure 7,650 and 11,870 feet!) #SFOHistory #AvGeek

Happy Birthday SFO! The airport was dedicated on May 7, 1927. Hangar No. 4 built in in early 1928, stood until 1999. This truss section from Hangar No. 4 is now on display in “Mills Field and the San Francisco Airport” located in the SkyTerrace.

Do you recognize this building? This design drawing of one of SFO’s most recognizable buildings, was sketched by architect Craig Hartman of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in 1995 (big hint!).

There was beautiful weather #onthisday in 1966! From this aerial photograph, you can see the Tanforan Racetrack, Candlestick Park, and all the way north toward city of San Francisco!

#Onthisday in 1927, San Francisco signed a lease with the Mills Estate for 150 acres to use as an airport. The terms were for 3 years at $1,500 per year for a “temporary and experimental” municipal airport. This original tract of land remains part of SFO today. #SFOHistory
