Eastern Airlines Miami Video Driving Tour 1993 After The Shutdown
As you turn onto NW 36th Street in Miami in 1993 with the music of Frank Sinatra, a wave of nostalgia washes over you. This was the location of the Eastern Airlines headquarters and the MIA base.
As you head down the street, you see the familiar buildings that used to be part of the Eastern Airlines complex. The old terminal building was still standing, although it has been repurposed for other uses or demolished to make room for new buildings.
On the drive, you come across the Eastern Airlines maintenance facility and the L1011 hanger. This was the place where the planes were serviced and maintained, ensuring safe travels for all passengers. You may recall seeing the planes being worked on.
As the drive ends at the Ivory Tower or Eastern Headquarters turn off of NW 36th Street and head back to Le Jeune Rd, you realize that this tour has been a trip down memory lane. You know you will never fly with Eastern Airlines again, but the memories of the times you may have spent there will always be a cherished part of your life.
