I flew for EAL for 5 years, '84-'89, and coming from Connecticut flew them a lot growing up. I hope to hell someone doesn't revive the name.
With due respect to BelArgUSA, some old names, once gone, need to stay gone. The Pan Am "revivals" by a railroad company; the varieties of Braniff, the lot are all an embarrassment to those who proudly built them and saw them fail.
