None (cn None) With all the pictures being posted of Marine Week, I thought it would be interesting to post an old postcard from my collection showing BKL in its earlier days. I believe the time frame is the late 60's. Notice the construction of the new runway 6L. The undeveloped parking lot in the foreground and area east of it used to house hangars for light aircraft. The area between the airport and breakwall was wide open, and not filled in like it is today. A Tag Airlines DeHavilland Dove sits outside the new terminal building.

N1600H (cn 04365) Tag Airlines Dehavilland Dove N1600H at BKL in this undated postcard. Tag was in operation from 1957-1970, principally flying between Detroit and Cleveland's downtown airports. A fatal crash into a frozen Lake Erie in January 1970 spelled the end for this airline. Wright Airlines would then pick up the routes between the two cities and eventually expand. The second floor of the terminal building was a restaurant, I remember it being called "The Mark". A great place to plane watch!
