It was written, produced, directed, and narrated by Clete Roberts, shot by Larry Mitchell and edited by Graeme Clifford. The film discusses the growth of LAX in the coming decade, as the airport must be expanded to accommodate the increasing passenger traffic and "superjets" like the DC-10 and Boeing 747. The acquisition of the Ontario and Palmdale airports by the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is also discussed. LAX is highlighted as a major hub serving millions of people, with extensive parking facilities and a large workforce. The film traces LAX's development since 1928, emphasizing its continuous expansion. Future projections for passenger volume and the expansion of other regional airports, such as Ontario International and a new Intercontinental Airport at Palmdale, are also covered. Additionally, the text highlights Van Nuys Airport's role in general aviation and the economic impact of the Regional Airport System. Finally, it underscores LAX's pivotal role in the economic welfare of LA and its position as the hub of the world's first and largest regional airport system. 00:00: Music plays as kids run to an observation deck near the United terminal to watch planes take off and land 0:49: Observations of aircraft taking off. • 0:49: Mention of a helicopter. 1:57: Music continues. • 1:57: Continental Airlines check in counter.
