Thank you to Jim Urquhart Jr. for contributing this great old photo taken by his dad Captain James Urquhart who flew for National from 1946 to 1977 and the DC-4's to the DC-10's.

George T. Baker, owner and chairman of National Airlines, donated the land and the hangar to the Dade County Public Schools (DCPS) in the early 1960's for use as an aviation training school when National moved to Dade County Port Authority property on the west side of LeJeune Road and north of the new entrance to Miami International Airport's new 20th Street Terminal. DCPS named the school George T. Baker Aviation School in return for Mr. Baker's generosity to our local public schools and the school has provided top quality training for local and out of town aviation students. Many of Baker Aviation School's graduates have successfully found employment working for this country's airlines and airlines from other countries around the world.
