*Includes a 737 that had a total electrical failure on
rotation from 25L at LGB and he stopped with his wingtip hanging over
the edge of the runway looking down on I-5. Talk about a high pucker
factor?!


No wonder I kept getting lost on that damned freeway system!!! ggg
You are absolutely right of course and I operated out of LGB for years
and out of SNA for as many more. In fact, I started flying out of SNA
back in the mid 50's and worked the SoCal area for at least 20+ years.
The airplane was the old Western Airlines group and I think the
incident was about ....geeeezz '63-64? sometime in the 60's anyway....
