Miami and Florida AVIATION Historical Photos Gallery - Airports, Airlines, Aircraft - All Years - click on image to view

Miami was probably the premier pioneer city, and Florida the premier pioneer state, in America when it came to commercial, civil and military aviation thanks to early aviation pioneers like Glenn Hammond Curtiss who brought the first flying exhibition to Miami in 1911 and built a flying school in Miami in 1912. He continued to build flying schools locally, developed Miami Springs and Opa-locka, and co-developed Hialeah. Curtiss built a large variety of aircraft over the years and all of the models can be viewed at http://www.aviastar.org/air/usa/a_curtiss.html The U. S. Navy and the Marine Corps had airfields and aircraft in Miami during their earliest aviation endeavors. Arthur "Pappy" Chalk and his Chalks Airlines, Aeromarine Airways, Charles Lindbergh and Pan American World Airways were also instrumental in making Miami one of the few aviation pioneer cities in America.

A large percentage of our population owed their livelihoods to aviation, mostly in commercial aviation working for National Airlines, Eastern Airlines and Pan American World Airways. It seemed like there were airline employees on every block when we were growing up. I had two Eastern mechanics and a Delta pilot on my block, two Pan Am mechanics on the next block, plus pilots in the neighborhood. Miami Springs was full of pilot and other airline employee residents due to the close proximity to the airport.

These galleries are dedicated to everyone who worked in aviation in South Florida and to those who love aviation. There are thousands of other aviation photos on display on our aviation stock photo site at http://www.AviationStockPhotos.com and I have numerous stewardess photos in a gallery at https://pbase.com/donboyd/memories_doyouremember_stewardesses . A great slide show of airlines in the past is at http://www.funstufftosee.com/airlineempires.html For those of you who are new to computing and/or surfing the internet, this is just one page of many pages of photos on this site. The home page for our Old Hialeah/Old Miami galleries is at https://pbase.com/donboyd/memories and all the oldie galleries spin off from that page. You can also click on the yellow colored >>Memories of Old Hialeah, Old Miami and Old South Florida Photo Galleries << at top of any page to get back to the main oldies page to search other galleries.

STRANGE BUT TRUE - THIS SITE IS BANNED BY MDAD AT MIA: For unknown reasons the Information Systems Division at the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, which owns and operates Miami International Airport, has banned the photos on my website for all airport-owned computers and apparently the Aviation Director and the county Mayor can not overrule the manager of the division despite the wealth of historical information on the site. Fortunately the information systems manager can not prohibit county employees from viewing my site on their mobile devices and personal computers.

Hopefully you will enjoy seeing the many old images on this page and in the many other historical photo galleries on this website. Perhaps the images and comments have brought back many fond memories of good times for you in the past and have helped you jog your memory of places and people you may have forgotten.
