Airport PAST#8: Early Jet Age - Miami International Airport - Pt 1* Pan Am & National Airlines Era
Рет қаралды 61,527
Күн бұрынPart -2 The age of Eastern and rise of Air Florida
Part -3 The coming of American Dominance
This first part of this 3 part series places heavy focus on two of original powerhouses
at MIA budding jet age, Pan Am (Pan American World Airways) and National Airlines. Pan Am dominated the gateway
to Latin and South America with flights to every capital down south and flying every
aircraft in the fleet from MIA. Miami based National Airlines had it’s main base of
operations here. National’s very cool logo, the Sun King, was seen across the northern
US as the way to get to Florida, the number one vacation spot for northerners! It was
The east coast’ Vegas back then but it came with stunning beaches definlng the word
- relax! In this series are many of carriers seen only at this airport along with National
and Pan Am. Every US carrier who could get there, came there. And they came ‘heavy’
bring their largest jet transports, TWA, Delta and others brought there 747s, L-1011s
and DC-10s here…
Check them out!

I grew up during the 60s under the approach of runway 27 of Schiphol Airport, and I was very glad when these old jets with their loudly whining engines and deep rumbling after passing over, got phased out by newer types propulsed by the much less noisy high bypass turbofan engines.

Many of us enthusiasts loved the smoke and noise because it seemed so cool especially if you were a kid at the time,..but home owners near the airport complained constantly....if any of the readers here remember watching the movie "Airport 1970", you see a family sitting down to dinner and praying suddenly, the walls started shaking and things started falling from the shelves as a Boeing 707 tookoff over their neighborhood.....it is funny but sad at the same time.

One of the sad moments in National Airlines ERA was the numerous of strikes 🪧 they faced by flight attendants and pilots as well as mechanics. National Airlines they had several crashes and I believe it’s lead to people lose confidence with National Airlines and the ceased operations to merge with Pan American World Airways 😭😢😡

Nobody lost confidence in National. National Airlines had paid off their last few aircraft and did not have debt. That's why there was a bidding war to buy National. It's sad the jackasses at Pan Am won. Very poor leadership at Pan Am in the 1970s and 80s lead to their downfall and my dad losing alot of his retirement from National because of Pan Am's bankruptcy.

It was "MACKEY" AIRLINES ! Not "McKay" ! I flew them for years back and fourth from Miami, Ft Lauderdale and West Palm Beach to Freeport Bahamas and Nassau and the Out Islands of The Bahamas. I lived in Freeport at the time. Mackey was a great little airline. Good service and cheap flights !

I grant anything up to 1970 as the early jet age, anything past that is not. But I do like seeing anything later.

Man I am trying SO hard to locate just a few seconds of that aircraft it's not funny. I have a few shots of it in the back ground coming up in part 2 or part 3 and I just want to kill the photographer who was looking right at it but busy shooting some seriously mundane nonsense...but then again, I must credit the guy with at least catching that much!

As a 35-year A&P IA who worked Heavy C & D Inspections, Maintenance, Repair, Cargo Conversions and Re-Engining on every Boeing, Douglas and Airbus Commercial Jetliner built, from DC-8s to DC-10s and MD-11s, 707s to 767s, and all the junk shit Airbus built: quality and safety-wise: the Boeing 727 is by far the greatest Jetliner ever built, the Douglas MD80 is the second greatest Jetliner ever built, the Boeing 757 is the third best ever built, and the Douglas DC9-30, -40 and -50 are the 4th greatest ever built .. the 737 and the Airbuses are junk compared to these four models ..
