Found this on YouTube. Kinda cool.

Made me think; if Eastern had allowed RJs in their scope, maybe they would still be around???

Very interesting. Note the real Piedmont and Republic airlines, as well as the old Frontier.

Good find, thanks for posting that. BTW, is Delta the only airline that is still around out of all of them in that video?

Notice the ground equipment. All nice and neat no major body damage or smoke coming from the exhaust like a coal furnace.

Plus the ground crews wearing uniforms that fit (not ten sizes big with boxers/a$$ hanging out) and shirts tucked in.

Great seeing all those L1011's and Eastern Airlines.

But.. but... how did Atlanta EVER survive without RJs???

 

[BOX OFFICE]

They did have RJs. They were called DC-9s.

Nice find.

Those Piedmont 737-400's are still flying!

I loved the "Whisper Jet" painted on the tail of the Eastern 727!
