Description
Photograph has vertical crease down middle.
Photograph article dated September 19, 1963 partially reads, "Our beautiful Valley is a fairyland of dancing lights, a vast, black-velvet carpet studded with sparkling jewels if viewed from the right angle and at the right time. The correct angle is straight down from an altitude of about 3,000 feet, and the best time is any clear night. For a get-acquainted, all-encompassing view of this area, or for an introduction to personal aviation, or just for an unbelievably exciting evening's entertainment, Skyways Inc. is offering $7.50-a-person plane rides from Van Nuys Airport. A licensed, experienced pilot in a $30,000 Cessna 205 will chauffeur two to five people at a time in 30-minute air tours of the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood and Los Angeles." North Hollywood is a bed of countless sparkling lights. Lankershim Blvd. cuts across center of photo.
