1958 Flight to California

This slide was labeled, "Flight to Calif 1958" and I remember Dad went on lots of "business trips" in those days but I suspect this trip was a recruiting trip to visit Weston Hydraulics. That mountain looks a lot like Rainier in the background but what really caught my attention was the propeller in the foreground. Yeah, this was 1958 and that airplane was probably a DC 2 or DC 3, and this photo was taken fairly far forward in order to get both the engine and the tip of the wing in the photo. I wonder if it was taken from the cockpit rather than a passenger side window.

It's striking how large the mountain is compared to the surrounding terrain.
