Strategically located on Lemmon Avenue, the former Braniff Operations and Maintenance Base was completed in October, 1958. Designed by famed architects William Pereira and Charles Luckman, the unique structure is a testimony to mid-century modernism.
Having not invested any maintenance into the building since the last tenants hastily departed, the City of Dallas Department of Aviation is attempting to tear down a viable piece of aviation history. Eliminating this last piece of Braniff history is an affront to the hard working people that made aviation a fundamental industry at Dallas Love Field and the region.
Please sign the petition to demand the City of Dallas cease demolition activity and allow existing bids to restore the building.
My father spent thirty years walking those halls and seeing this building crumble breaks my heart. We are almost at one thousand signatures so please send this link to your contacts right now to help us stop the demolition crews.

My father spent thirty years walking those floors and he deserves to see that legacy preserved rather than reduced to rubble. We are just a few signatures away from hitting our first hundred so please help me push this over the line right now.

Tearing this down when you have financialy viable alternatives that would allow this valuable piece of history to be restored would be criminal. Save and restore this magnificent structure!

As a 2nd generation Braniff pilot (Dad 1947-1982) and myself (1967-1982), I have many fond memories coming and going through this facility both as a lad eager to follow in my father's footsteps and later having lived the dream. After surviving for so long after our beloved company's demise, it would be a shame to see it go now. Save 7701!!!

MY Mother worked in RES there. I used to ride the crew bus to the terminal and back. I commuted between SAT and DAL for several years and kind of grew up there.
I love that place, Save it.

This facility was my Braniff 'home' from 1967 until August of 1981, at which time I was transferred to DFW til bankruptcy in May 1982. The "Maintenance Base," as we called it, holds more memories than I can count.

As a former crew member based at Love Field (Muse Air 1981-84) and a life-long Dallas resident, I want the building saved and restored. We have enough apartments.

I working in that building in the late 1970's, walking its halls endlessly while working for Buford "Boo" Minter and then helping to computerize check maintenance workflow. I would like at the very least to have the chance to walk fhrough the building one last time.

Braniff was one of the reasons I wanted to work for the airlines!
