On Nov. 14, 1940, the Packers left Green LAMBEAUBay on a 7 a.m. Milwaukee Road train and headed for Chicago, where FIELDthey were taken by limousine from the depot to the airport to boardtwo United Airlines planes. MISC. This was a Thursday and they were scheduled to play the Giantsin New York on Sunday. The Packers’ itinerary called for them to leaveChicago at 12:30 p.m. and arrive at LaGuardia Airport at 4:25 p.m. (CST).When a host of photographers showed up at the runway, takeoff timewas delayed slightly as the Packers posed for several pictures, includingCecil Isbell lifting a stewardess off the ground and pretending to throwher to Don Hutson. Once in the air, things went smoothly until the planes had to land inCleveland for refueling. With LaGuardia under a heavy fog, the decisionwas then made to abort the flights. A fleet of taxicabs took the Packersto downtown Cleveland where they ate dinner and sat around a hotel lobby until they could board a New York Central railway sleeper tocomplete the trip to New York. The Packers finally arrived in New York at 8:30 a.m. on Friday and headed to Central Park to practice. A fter losing to the Giants, 7-3, things went better on the trip home. The Packers took off early Monday morning from LaGuardia and landedin Chicago without incident. There they took limousines from the airport to Union Station, where they had an hour wait before catching theirtrain back to Green Bay. 89

Packers’ many great traditions is the bike-riding one during training camp. Since at least the Vince Lombardi era, more than a half-century ago, players have been riding kids’ bikes from the locker room at what is now Lambeau Field to the Packers’ nearby practice field(s). So far the earliest evidence of the tradition was a photo furnished (on right) by Keegan Wright showing Jim Temp (82) and Dan Currie (58) walking to practice while Lamar McHan (16) rides a kid’s bike. T he tradition continues today as kids line up out- side the stadium hoping to give a player a lift, and then again outside the practice field following practice. It’s a tradition that not only has brought immediate joy to kids and players alike, but also led to lasting friendships. 92
