Back in 1968 my dad took us to Disneyland.
We flew in to LAX and had some time before the bus left for our
hotel.
I wandered along outside the terminal and was watching the aircraft.
Saw a 747 in action for the first time. I figured it was taxiing into
position ... then it rotated.


I think your family trip was a bit later than that. First flight of the
B747 was February 9, 1969, it entered service in January 1970.
