Between January and March of 1966, four pairs of yellow lines were painted the length of the Snake Pit. The pairs were spaced to when pilots kept the lines between the pedals, four rows of birds would fit safely on the Snake Pit. Does anyone have a picture showing those lines before the revetments were built?
