Description: A slightly elevated panoramic view of United Airport in Burbank on the day of its official opening and dedication. The Spanish style terminal building is in the center, with the Pacific Air Transport building on the right. Parked automobiles stretch across the foreground, and a crowd of people stand around an open grassy area in front of the terminal building. There are rows of airplanes parked on the runways beyond the terminal building, and most of the Good Year blimp is blocked by the terminal. The finding aid describes the airplanes as "military airplanes". Writing in white in the bottom left corner reads "Photo by ; F.M. Huddleston ; Official Opening & Dedication ; United Airport. May 30, 1930."
