MS It was the original airline terminal and airport

MS You could go up to the observation deck on the roof of
MS the building and have a great view of the airliners landing on
MS 30L. At some parties we would go up there and "rate" the
MS landings. We could play the music as loud as we wanted with
MS no complaints! "Mile High Club" flights ran out of that
MS terminal as well.

Gee, I woulda remembered that stuff at that age.
The Lockheed club operated out of some nondescript building
away from most others.


IIRC, the Mile High Club flights were at one time advertised by
Thunderbird Aviation. I think it was a C-402 with the right side passenger
seats removed. They had a roll up feather mattress and supplied champagne
and, of course, two of Sporty's Mile High Club pins to the passengers.
