lookin’ good !!
Looks to be a plane that used to be part of Eastern Airlines fleet from the paint scheme, but they’ve been out of business for a number of years.
this is a Boeing 737 charter from the new Eastern Airlines
they are back in business in Miami. they have are charter now ramping up for regular service in a year or two
Wish it was just a little flashier, but it’s classy.
Very nice!

wow, that was fast!
The blue on the cowling is unmistakable for AF1... Hahahaha, take that Timmy.
“Spirit of the American Soldier” on the nose:
Of course it also said that when it was hauling around hockey players:
A workhorse plane in most airline fleets.
I was just noticing the similarity of the livery to the VC-25 and VC-32 aircraft used as Air Force One.
As others have noted, EAL is alive and (so far) well again - someone pulled the remains of the company out of the trash heap, dusted it off and got it running again.

In case anyone missed it, there’s an interesting connection between Trump and EAL:
“In 1989, Lorenzo sold Eastern Air Lines Shuttle to real estate magnate Donald Trump (who named it the Trump Shuttle)”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines
That was the commuter air part of EAL, not the majority of the airline. EAL failed in 1991 due to idiotic management (among other things) by the guy who had sold EALS to Trump. From 1991 on, Trump’s rump of EAL (which he sold on due to various issues) was the only part of the original EAL still surviving until the unrelated EALG bought the remains of the original EAL in 2009 to resurrect it.
Trump could have leased a 737 from anyone; there are many companies who would cheerfully have cut him a deal. But he went back to the resurrected EAL for it. Interesting connection and one that shows (intentionally or not) that Trump has a long memory, I think.
