An olive is skewered in a martini glass on the neon sign above the doorway of the Cockpit cocktail lounge in the courtyard of the Grand Central Air Terminal, located at 1310 Air Way in Glendale. A life size cutout of a vaquero leaning against a lamppost, smoking a cigarette and pointing to the lounge, indicates Mexican food was served.The Grand Central Air Terminal was designed by Henry L. Gogerty in 1928 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with zig-zag moderne elements. The terminal is a City of Glendale registered landmark. The airport was officially closed on July 15, 1959 and has been replaced with a warehouse district, but the main terminal survives.
