Eastern

About US

our mission and vision

Though Eastern ceased operations in 1991, its spirit lives on. The Eastern Air Lines Pilots Memorial Foundation exists to honor those aviators and preserve this remarkable chapter of aviation history. Through the continued generosity of the Eastern Air Lines community, we’re able to:

  • Maintain memorials for Eastern Air Lines pilots
  • Host airline employee reunions, connecting former colleagues
  • Curate exhibitions of airline collectibles and vintage memorabilia for future generations

We proudly carry on the Eastern Air Lines fleet history, commemorating not just the planes but the people who kept them flying. Our archives, photographs, and artwork reflect the passion of an era where air travel symbolized adventure.

Together, we’re more than a foundation. We’re the keepers of an aviation family legacy.
