  4. Just watched an episode of #NOVA on #PBS called "Extreme Airport Engineering" about the remodeling of #LaGuardiaAirport (LGA).

    The last time I flew into LGA was in the 80's on #EasternAirlines (defunct) flights from/to Boston.

    Pretty impressive what they did. Makes me want to fly there even though I really hate the idea of flying anywhere now. 🤷‍♂️

  8. DC-3 Eastern Airlines, New England Air Museum, Connecticut Eastern Airlines bore the title 'The Great Silver Fleet' on their airliners for some years. They were also a significant user of Douglas's masterpiece, the DC-3. Here we see a fine example in the New England Air Museum in Connecticut. This aircraft was built as a DC-3, but taken over by the USAAF on the production line, and issued as a C-49J. From 1942 to April 1945 it undertook the many duties of a wartime transport, until converted back to a DC-3 and purchased by Eastern Airlines. #Connecticut, #C49 #Douglas #EasternAirlines #NEAM #NewEnglandAirMuseum #NewEngland #aviation #history #photography #aviationphotography #TheGreatSilverFleet #WW2 #USAAF #airliners #trooptransport #aviationlovers #avgeek #aviationgeek #airline
