Proud Bird, aerospace watering hole, about to run dry

Posted on by

With a martini in hand, John Cashen was deep in a discussion of military electronics, when a 747 jetliner seemed to float past in slow motion onto LAX's south runway complex.

Cashen, who pioneered the radar-evading design of the B-2 Stealth bomber, stopped to watch the plane just a few hundred yards away thunder past his table at the Proud Bird, the aerospace industry's favorite watering hole for more than a half-century.

"There's no place else like this in the world," said Cashen, 76, who retired from Northrop Grumman in 1993 but still consults for the firm.

The biggest names in aerospace have sat at the bar here to watch the planes land, people such as Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh and Neil Armstrong.

But the Proud Bird's days may be numbered.

John Tallichet, the current owner and son of the late founder, said it will close Nov. 21, after an unsuccessful two-year effort to negotiate a new lease from the property owners, Los Angeles World Airports.

The city airport commission says it can't help the historic gathering place, saying that federal law, which controls some aspects of airport operations, requires current market value for rents.

Although Boeing Co., Northrop Grumman Corp., the Aerospace Corp. and Raytheon Co. all have major facilities nearby, the industry is much smaller than in its heyday and less able to support the red-meat-and-fish dining room.

Nonetheless, supporters of the restaurant are outraged by the upcoming closure, saying that it would mean the loss of an important piece of Los Angeles' history.

Tallichet blames a tangle of federal and city laws that have raised his costs.

History of Stem Cell Treatment | Guidelines to follow when choosing stem cell therapy

Scientists have long been fascinated by the power of stem cells, which has led to current stem cell treatment. These adaptive cells have the potential to develop into different kinds of cells, depending upon what the human body needs them to be. They act as a personal repair system, uniquely able to regenerate damaged tissue. Better yet, stem cells divide without limit, giving the body a fighting chance to fight degeneration. While scientists have long suspected the potential of stem cells in healing, 1973 was the first time physicians were able to successfully perform the first stem cell transplant between unrelated patients. Stem cell therapy has mushroomed since that time as physicians realized that the same stem cells used to fight diseases such as leukemia can also treat Alzheimer's disease, COPD, heart disease and other degenerative conditions.
