I came to SFO in 1987 so can't speak about where we were in the 70's

I asked a friend who is a commuter in SFO on the 400. He said its best to move your car out and back in the lot to avoid problems with local parking authorities. Not going to work for an occasional car trip. I'm looking into nice secure, covered car storage for about 200-300$ a month.
The old ops building I was thinking about was torn down I think. I used to go in there with my dad back in the day. Good memories.

No bus to wait on, you can walk there in 15 minutes or take the airTrain to Garage G and ride the elevator down to the ground floor, walk out of the garage and you are at the parking lot.

The "powerbars" were in the credenza. Contractual deal man. I'll file a grievance if it's empty! Oh yeah, "70's" gates were filled with Guppy 200's and Trimotor 100's, not RJ's!!

Thread drift.
I often walked across the parking lot, past the service center, to the ramp, right to the plane....
All the old employee busses I think were sent the SFO to die. You were always scraping your knuckles on the exterior bin for your bags.
