Historical Eastern Air Lines (later Airlines) Photo Gallery - click on image to enter

Eastern was the big airline in Miami, employing thousands of residents who lived all over the county and up into Broward. When I was a kid it seemed like every block had an Eastern family on it and often two or three Eastern families.

Great photos.. My Dad worked for Eastern from 1945-1987 and I worked there from 1968-1983. I enjoy seeing the old photos - even the ones from before my time. Hard to see what's happening to the airline industry these days.

Doesn't anyone remember Jimmy Hartley. A true hero. When there was no food service at the Terminal (early 50's) at night time---I worked the night shift at the Post Inn, It was owned by a Dr Frank. Later I worked at the Eastern Cafeteria. Enjoying the pictures and remembering the OLD times.
