Re: Puerto Rican Aviation - 2023

This one is for the old timers out there like myself. In the late 1970's and 1980s I recall arriving at SJU at about 0400 having taken one of the red-eyes from the NYC area. Every time I would leave the SJU airport at that hour I would notice what looked like 12-15 Eastern L10-11s lined up in order...
