Early boarding for me. Flight PR479 departs at 6:00 A.M. for Jolo, Sulu.
Flying with my Dad, who was then PAL AVP-Mindanao, has some perks such as
not having to go through the passenger lounge inside the airport terminal.
Instead, we board the aircraft ahead of others from the Branch Manager's office
which is west of the passenger terminal.

Behind me headed towards the aircraft is my Dad.
On his right is PAL-ZAM Station Agent Sonny Cruz walking him up to the aircraft.

Ground crew in white coveralls are done with their assignment and waiting for
passenger boarding.
