THE SHORT AND THE LONG of modern air transportation are seen in this photograph taken at the Pan American hangar at San Francisco International Airport. Maintenance work goes forward on Sikorsky S-62 turbocopter in foreground, which makes short-haul flights for the San Francisco & Oakland Helicopter Airlines. In the background is one of the long-haul DC-8 jets flown by Pan American. The helicopter airline leases a portion of the hangar from Pan American for use as general office, hangar and maintenance space.
