The
confort and safety for taking off or
landing at LAX!
-----From
its spider-shaped Encounters Restaurant to
the pylons some describe as Darth Vader
lightsabers lining Century Boulevard, Los
Angeles International Airport boasts a
Space Age view for first-time
visitors..
-----Opened
75 years ago on a stretch then known as
the Mines Field, the facility owned by Los
Angeles World Airports is one of Southern
California's most-photographed
landmarks..
-----With
nine passenger terminals -- newly enhanced
with high-tech baggage-screening
equipment, retail shops, ethnic-style
restaurants, cocktail lounges and
newsstands, LAX also is one of the state's
largest revenue generators, contributing
up to $60 billion
annually..
-----In
addition to celebrating its own 75th
birthday this year, LAX will commemorate
the 100th anniversary of the Wright
Brothers' first flight -- with banners,
artwork and special
events..
-----Van
Nuys Airport, located in the heart of the
San Fernando Valley and ranked as the
world's busiest general aviation airport,
will hold its largest Aviation Expo to
date in June. Airport officials say a
replica of the Wright Brothers' 1903 Flyer
will make its only Southern California
appearance there this
summer..
-----But
for all the glitz and glamour that
Southern California airports boast, when
it comes to overall convenience, Burbank
Airport still ranks high among locals and
frequent interstate
travelers..
-----Sacramento
resident Stacy Potter-Riner makes weekly
plane trips up and down the coast. Of all
the airports she has to stop at, Burbank
Airport is her
favorite..
-----"It's
pretty easy here, and there are less
problems," Potter-Riner, a human resources
manager for a Central California company,
said recently as she waited for her flight
to Sacramento. "It's small, but it gets
you to where you are going. I prefer it to
all the others.".
-----This
year, Burbank Airport's newest carrier,
Aloha Airlines, will begin offering
flights to Maui..
-----"The
traditional view is that Burbank Airport
is an easy airport to get to know because
it is so small," spokesman Victor Gill
said. "I think that's still the case, but
we have started to look like a real
airport.".
-----In
addition to installing high-tech security
baggage equipment as mandated last year by
the federal Transportation Security
Administration, the airport is expanding
its main concourse. Plans include more
concession stands and amenities beyond the
checkpoints..
-----And
the airport includes one feature that
still tickles most
travelers..
-----"It's
not every airport where you can drive up
to the front, and drop off your car," Gill
said. "Our valet concept has worked
well."..

----- .
Guiding
Principles of the LAX Master Plan.
-----In
recognition of the growing demand for air
passenger and cargo transportation in the
region, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)
reaffirms the following guiding principals
for completing a Master Plan for the
modernization of Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX):.
-----Embracing
a Regional Solution.
-----Understanding
that all our regional airport resources -
not just LAX - must and should grow to
meet future air traffic demands in our
region, LAWA supports the growth of other
regional airports and will work to
construct a Master Plan that is compatible
with the development of all present and
future airports in the
region..
-----Easing
Traffic.
-----In
order to relieve traffic impacts on area
residents and ease congestion on surface
streets and freeways around LAX, LAWA is
committed to a Master Plan that improves
access to and circulation around the
airport and develops alternatives to the
increased use of single occupancy
vehicles..
-----Maintaining
Safety.
-----Safety
is an essential consideration in planning
development at the airport. As the Master
Plan evolves, LAWA is committed to
maintaining the highest levels of safety
for LAX's employees, passengers and
surrounding
communities..
-----Strengthening
the Economy.
-----In
continuing support of our area's strong
economic growth, the Master Plan is aimed
at retaining and increasing jobs and
revenue for the region and its
businesses..
-----Maintaining
Our Area's Prominence.
-----As
demand for passenger and cargo capacity
increases and other U.S. cities seek to
attract such business, LAWA is committed
to a Master Plan that maintains the
greater Los Angeles area's prominence as a
gateway for international commerce and
tourism..
-----Minimizing
Disruption.
-----To
preserve the quality of life and thriving
business atmosphere in existing
communities, LAWA seeks to minimize land
acquisition and relocation of homes and
businesses as needed for the Master Plan,
and to mitigate any disruptions resulting
from any such
relocations..
-----Preserving
the Environment.
-----Protection
and preservation of the local environment
are essential concerns in the master
planning process. Any improvements called
for in the Master Plan will be mindful of
environmental requirements, such as those
for air quality, noise and the protection
of sensitive species'
habitats..
-----Attracting
Public Participation.
-----To
ensure that the master planning process
reflects the concerns of the public and
their representatives, LAWA will continue
to inform and consult communities,
residents and businesses throughout the
region about the master planning process.
We encourage public participation,
particularly after the Environmental
Impact Statement and Report are released,
so legitimate concerns can be
addressed..
-----*These
guiding principles supplement the project
and transportation objectives already
established in the NOL/NOP of June 11,
1997..
04 Master Plan
Transportation Objectives.
-----All
design alternatives under study contain a
basic package of ground access
improvements that is capable of making a
real difference in helping to reduce
existing congestion on the San Diego
Freeway, the Century Freeway and all
airport area streets..
-----All
of LAWA's actions are driven by three
broad goals:.
-----*
Maximizing access to and from regional
transportation systems..
-----*
Providing opportunities for people to
connect to mass transit
systems..
-----*
Protecting neighborhoods by minimizing or
mitigating any impacts on local
streets..

History
of LAX
----
When
the state of California was still a
Mexican province, the land which is now
occupied by the Los Angeles International
Airport was part of a large Mexican land
grant known as the Rancho Sausal Redondo.
This rancho, which took its name from a
clump of willows, stretched along the
coast from what is now Playa del Rey to
Redondo Beach and extended inland to
Inglewood. It was granted to Antonio
Ygnacio Avila by Juan Alvarado, then
governor of Alta California, in
1837.
----Where
the city of Inglewood is today there was
another, smaller, Mexican rancho called
the Rancho Ajuaje de la Centinela, which
means the "Sentinel of Waters." This
rancho was granted in 1844 to Ygnacio
Machado by the governor of Mexico, Manuel
Micheltorena. In 1845 Machado traded
the rancho to Bruno Avila, brother of
Antonio Ygnacio Avila, for a small tract
in the pueblo of Los Angeles. Thus the
Avila brothers came to possess over 25,000
acres stretching from the sea almost to
the Los Angeles City limits
eastwards.
----After
California was taken over by the United
States, the Rancho Ajuaje de la Centinela
changed hands a number of times,
eventually being acquired in 1860 by Sir
Robert Burnett, a Scottish lord. After
Antonio Ygnacio Avila died in 1858 the
Rancho Sausal Redondo passed to a series
of heirs before also becoming the property
of Sir Robert in 1868 when it was sold to
him through probate court to pay debts
accrued by the Avila estate. Burnett
combined the two ranchos under the name of
Rancho Centinela.
----In
1873 illness forced Burnett to return to
Scotland, and he leased the rancho to
Daniel Freeman with an option to
buy. Freeman, a wealthy Canadian
lawyer who had moved to California to
benefit his wife's health, purchased a
part of Rancho Centinela in 1882 and
acquired title to the rest of the property
in 1885. He raised sheep on the land until
the drought of 1874-1876 forced him to
turn to dry farming. The experiment
was a success and by 1880 the ranch was
producing a million bushels of barley a
year.
----Andrew
B. Bennett, a native of Los Angeles,
leased 2,000 acres of the Daniel Freeman
ranch in 1894, and this property became
known as the Bennett Rancho. Many of
the parcels of the old Rancho Centinela
were sold to various companies, and in
1912 a large portion of land in the
southwest corner of the Centinela Valley
was bought by James Martin and the Los
Angeles Extension Company, which Martin
controlled. The land continued to be
leased to tenant farmers, and by 1922
Andrew Bennett had expanded his leasehold
to 3,000 acres and was growing wheat,
barley, and lima beans where Los Angeles
International Airport would one day be
built.
----
During
the 1920s the Bennett Rancho began to
attract pioneer aviators who used a small
portion of this property as a makeshift
landing strip. The airplanes of that era
landed and departed on roughground but
soon attracted people on weekends who came
"out to the country" to see the early
flying machines in action. In 1927 a group
of local citizens led by Inglewood
Municipal Judge Frank D. Parent; Harry
Culver, a real estate promoter; and George
Cleaver, an oil land developer, began to
push for the establishment of a major
airport on this section of the Bennett
Rancho.
----
That
same year the Los Angeles City Council
became interested in the creation of a
municipal airport. In July 1927 real
estate agent William W. Mines,
representing the Martin interests, offered
640 acres of the former Bennett Rancho to
use as an airport for the City of Los
Angeles. Thus the site became known as
Mines Field. On July 25, 1928, the City
Council chose Mines Field as the location
for the City's airport, and when the lease
was executed in October 1928, the
forerunner of Los Angeles International
Airport was born.

Puzzle is Solved!
About
Hundred Years Ago, 1902 --
The
Smart Daaf Boys,
headed by Stubblefield and Marconi, had
the amazing idea to combine the telephone
and telegraph with the electromagnetic
wave and called their ideas the "wireless
telephone" and "radio
broadcasting".
Over
Ten years ago, The
Smart90 Daaf Boys,
headed by T.C. Stubblefield and Victor

combine TELEVISION
INTERNATIONAL

with the telephone, and the internet, then
named the idea, Smart90.com,
LookRadio.com, tviNews.net &
YES90.
Today,
we've got another amazing idea!
More!

Today's
Puzzle:
What's Piracy? Who Really Pays the
Performers? Hollywood critics say that old
worldwide movies and TV shows exceed over
one million units -- and recycled movies
and TV shows are said to glut the worlds
vaults with over two million units.
Hollywood mischaracterizes legal behavior,
as one who interferes with the mechanics
