OK, its now after midnight, and I'm feeling all nostalgic. Eastern was the official airline of Walt Disney World.
If you don't know the title to this thread then you really missed something special. This was in the mid 70's when there was a tremendous amount of pride with airlines, and rightfully so.

I have a few good pictures of that L1011 model, plus the other one at the exit of the ride (not shown)
At the end of the ride you would enter a large barrel shape room, with wind blowing at your face. The walls were used as a projector canvas. The view was you were racing down a runway and the seats would tilt back, complete with the cockpit view film footage and jet engine sounds.
"You do have wings, you can do all these things. Eastern, we will be your wings"
I must have dragged my old man onto that ride at least 100 time!
