IIRC, “C” pier was opened in 1974.

For the Northwest 747Fs (flight number NW923 seems to be sticking in my mind), we’re talking more 1979-1981ish; Air Europe was formed in 1978.

I think the AE must be early 80s as I’m not sure whether the satellite pier (pier C) was opened until the very late 70s or even the early 80s. No idea about the Eastern, but excellent photos nonetheless.

The Balkan IL18s were usually seen when one of the Tu154s had a poorly engine or something.

Interflug IL18s were also to be seen, albeit rarely.

They weren’t that regular though! Forgot the LOT Il18s and Tarom Il18s at the weekend though the Balkan variety were somewhat rarer.

Wasn’t the Crossair Metro that arrived every Sunday tied in to the Air Florida flight?

Don’t forget the Nor Fly Convair 440s and 580s, David. 🙂

“Vintage” propliners for that time would have been the Kar Air Swingtail Dc6 OH-KDA operating for Finnair 2 or 3 times per week (prior to Finnair’s own DC9s talking over the service with Air Atlanta 737s having a go on the route in the 1990s), Fred Olsen L188s operating for SAS routing to Copenhagen and Clyden Airways Dc3s to/from Dublin (operating at nighttime as Clyden 100 as I remember).
