... There was also one in the shopping center that used to front on Sepulveda Blvd. right where the airport expanded in 1961, where the east/west runway now crosses the road . I can't remember the name but it was very popular with the PSA stewardesses. (Pacific Southwest Airways - they were voted the most beautiful stewardesses in the U.S. in 1960.) It had a huge tiki with a flame coming out of the top of its head that could be seen from planes when one flew in at night.[/b]

Could this have been referring to the Huki Lau/Tiki Hut located on Sepulveda? There were two sky-high torches adjacent to the entrance which could easily have been seen by descending planes.
