Description
Photograph of a view of Los Angeles International Airport featuring the control tower, by James Caldwell, February 1971. The control tower sits atop the administrative services building right of center. In front of it stands a row of flagpoles and a small pool where the "flame of freedom" sits. In the left bottom corner runs the highway, and an overpass leads in front of the tower. To the bottom right sits a parking lot filled with cars, and around it runs a small road. Left of the control tower is the airport proper, with planes parked along the area. At right is the theme building with its parabolic arches, surrounded by cars in a parking lot. In the distance is the city of Los Angeles.
