How could I forget that. It was classic 4 different voices talking at the same ime you had each of them dead on. I hope you use them from time to time while playing. Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

I found some information in the Redlands Facts dated 7-29-1924 stating that W.S. Waterman, operator of the Big Bear Airline has again begun his trips between Ontario and Big Bear Valley. The big machine, which is now in service, is capable of carrying four passengers and is equipped with a powerful Renault motor of French design. Mr. Waterman plans to make the trip once a week unless he has two or more passengers, leaving Ontario at 9 o'clock and returning at 10:30 on Monday. The round-trip fare is $30.00 8-23-1924 Redlands Facts-Big Bear Airplane service between the resort and Ontario resume today after being temporailly discountined following the recent death of Sam Miller,San Bernardino, merchant, who was drowned in the lake when the airplane he and four other passengers were riding in plunged into Big Bear Lake. Within three days last week 7 airplanes landed at Big Bear Airport, which is fast becoming popular with private pilots who own cabins/lots at the resort. On Thursday, the five-passenger (the plane now carried an extra person) "Daddy Bear II" landed on time at 10:00 AM. A few minutes later a De Haviland plane, with two Army officers from Crissy Field, San Francisco landed. A private airplane carrying Richard J. Burke, owner, and E. Bailands landed. Mr. Burke owns one of the nicest cabins at the resort ( was this the same family that in 1933 Lt Richard Burke, earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, for landing his plane in the Atlantic ocean recovering a seriously injured crewman from the fishing trawler, SHAWMUT? and saving his life). Navy pilots are thinking about bringing their students in at regular intervals in cross-country practice. The Navy thinks that the field is in perfect condition for take-off and landing. A course of 4000 feet long, and 100 yards wide has been graded for a runway. It is located at the intersection of Division Drive and Aeroplane Blvd. on the east end of the lake running east towards Baldwin Lake. The airport is operated under the franchise by the Big Bear Airline. All goverment and civilian airplanes are welcome to land at any time. 3-28-1947 the Grizzly reported Andy Devine and Dick Probert buys interest in Airport for $42,500 from Hank Halstead. Mr. Halstead who last spring and summer developed the sky port on the meadows west of Peter Pan Golf Course. Devine and Probert also own Whiteman Air Park in San Fernando Valley and are both enthusiastically air-minded and enjoy flying in to Big Bear and staying at Andy Devine's house in Big Bear City (does anyone know where this house is located?). They have plans to construct hangars and run way. They will proceed with the GI program and ask that any service man interested in taking advantage of the training offered get papers in order at once. Did anyone take advantage of this and work at the airport? Does anyone have any more information on past owners? Eileen

while planes have been landed in several parts of the valley. As far as I know the only real airport has been the one in Bear City. For awhile the one near the old fire station was very popular. But never really had the room. Andy Devine played a larger part in getting the airport going then is even mentioned in the article. Another thing they failed to mention about the passenger drowning was that t was on their first attempt to fly the "airline" out. They had already had to leave a few passengers behind because of weight, and altitude. The airport was pretty humble untill the mid to late 70's. Mostly locals who had a few extra dollar's. There were always a few old cars around that belonged to those who had cabins, as there was really no transportation available once the visitors got here. As was mentioned earlier it was about it's middle third gor a very long time before it was expanded street to street. Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Roughly 15 years ago Trans World Express (a part of TWA Airlines) had flights to and from Big Bear. Their ticket counter was where the rental car counter is now.
