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:
Preserve the Eastern Air Lines Pilots Memorial display
Share the history and contributions of Eastern pilots through stories, photographs, and historical features
Foster an ongoing community for former employees, families, and aviation enthusiasts
We commemorate not only the aircraft that carried the airline forward, but the people who flew and supported them. Our archives, photographs, and artwork reflect an era where air travel symbolized adventure and innovation.
Together, we are more than a foundation — we are stewards of the Eastern family legacy.
