Description
Hollywood-Burbank Airport Authority President William B. Rudell signs documents relating to the Authority as Burbank City Planner Michael McClintock and Authority commission member Leland Ayers look on. Television cameras and microphones record the event. The creation of the Hollywood-Burbank Airport Authority (later renamed the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority) in June 1977 allowed the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena to purchase the airport, located in Burbank, from Lockheed and to operate it as a public air terminal. The name of the airport was changed following the sale in 1978 to Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport. Note on back of photo: “Airport Authority President Bill Rudell signs.
