Eastman Kodak
Rochester, N.Y.
Christopher Lima, director of aviation
65 Years

Eastman Kodak's flight department is based at Rochester Airport. It started in 1945 with the acquisition of an ex-military Douglas DC-3 and made its first corporate flight on July 29 that year.
During its 65 years of operation, the Kodak flight department has flown Gulfstream I, GII, GIV and Bombardier Challenger 600 series jets. In those three-and-a-half decades, it has logged 114,857 hours, the most recent of which were in a Challenger 604 and a Global Express.
On the department's 60th anniversary, NBAA presented Eastman Kodak chairman Antonio Perez with a commemorative plaque.

I wonder where the plaque is.
 
Well as sad as the news is, it should not have come as a shock. The company is in bankruptcy and as usual, the first thing to go are the aircraft.
