-
It certainly was a lot more fun back then. Beautiful images of the Eastern 727.
-
And air travel still is fun (for me anyway).

My first plane flight was on an Eastern Airlines flight out of the same airport in 1982 when I was just 7 years old. Columbia is still a small airport but the airport of this era was completely torn down and rebuilt. The observation patio is long gone. It use to be a thrill to go to the airport and just watch the planes take off and land. I am sure some still do this, even though you can't get to close now. Just imagine what they would have done to the kid running on the tarmac today.

Two things I miss about this beloved industry, the 727 and being able to enjoy air travel. Neither of these exist anymore at any airline. Sure makes going to work to fly a 3 day the dumps.

Yes, this was filmed at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport (South Carolina) when there still existed a small observation patio.
