The Wings Of Man

   The first Eastern Airlines B737 ex Kenya Air "Spirit of Eddie Rickenbacker” rolls out of a paint shop at Shannon.
   It will be N276EA later.
   EA wants to be airborne, dreaming and scheming from an old, former EA maintenance hangar at MIA. EA has orders for 20 new B737s and nextGens. But it needs its ticket punched by the U.S., and as we all know 50 percent of these start ups never get off the ground, and the record may be worse for bringing back former glory brand names.
   For example, what ever happened to the restarted People Express?
   But from the face of it, EA got an airplane that looks like it can fly.
   We remember back when “The Wings Of Man,” as the old EA ad slogan went, almost became “The Wings of Amman,” because somebody hatched a plan to get the late King Hussein of Jordan to invest in the old EA.
   So stay tuned, for anything is possible.
