The Phoenix observation deck offered great airplane spotting and photography. My first color shot from that vantage point remains my favorite. American DC-7B N357AA, Flagship Georgia, comes to a halt at its assigned gate in the late-day sun on December 29, 1960. Moments later I ran down to catch Flight 63 to San Diego, on 720-023 N7536A; its wingtip is barely visible to the left. My logbook says it set a speed record for that segment: 38 minutes!
