Flying A Service Station, Truckee, California.
Do you remember the Flying A Service Station’s? If you do, you are giving your age away.
This is the one subject that stood out from the rest, while visiting Truckee recently. It was really fun to photograph. I took a whole series of photos of it and these were two of my favorites.

A closer up view of the pump reveals that premium gas was going for 27 cents per gallon. Imagine that!

Love your photography and your site. I also love Truckee and wish that I could spend more time there just drawing and painting.
Terry – thank you very much for the feedback regarding our work! Truckee is one of the neatest towns around. The area surrounding it is truly amazing as well. I hope you get a chance to head up there for some drawing and painting soon!
Sherri,
was this a recent photo? My Family owned a Flying A station when I was kid and I would love to know if this a museum station..or??
Rich, This was taken about 3 years ago. Thanks for asking! ~Sherri
It’s fun to see how these cool looking gas stations are still around. Do they still operate, or are they just there to be like some sort of a living relic from the late 60′s? I wish I can travel to the old county, see sights like that.
