Wow. I gotta love the Midway Airlines photo. You should post that over on the Former Airlines @ IND forum, too. I assume that was the old-old Midway that was based at MDW - prior to its reincarnation as the airline based at RDU?

Correct...the first midway was the biggest airline at MDW until they went under..due to a multitude of factors--one of those being trying to start a hub at PHL and going against USAir.

You could also see a Mexicana 727 in the background...that was when the Blue Barn was being used as the International Terminal. Also, you could see the ugly blue/green exterior of PHL.

Just found this one..it is not of an eastern jet but of a US DC-9 in old colors. It was taken on December 23, 1989. In the background you could see an old CO DC-9 in old CO colors. THe pic is obviously old and a little torn.

I had others such as an Ozark DC-9 just before i boarded to go to BWI-STL-MLI and a pic. of a Midway Connection plane--the one that had the different color checkered planes and no connection to the Midway airlines. But i can't find them
