I was a Pan Am stewardess from 1970 to 71…wonderful airline…dream job…thank you for this video 🇺🇸🌹👍

Pan American World Airways introduced the 747 to the world. No livery looks as iconic as Pan Am's does on such a majestic airliner as the Boeing 747. Wish Pan Am was still around today to see it's classic logo on the new Boeing 747-8 intercontinental. Thank you for posting this fine collection of flying clippers.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I only flew Pan Am once (1981) when they were still in their hayday. My trip was LAX-LHR-Hamburg-West Berlin /Tegel. Return: Berlin-Hamburg-LHR-JFK-LAX. Loved the attention from the crew. "Welcome Aboard Pan Am Clipper" was the greeting!

This video, this music, all is nostalgic. I love you 747❤

I am actually kind of glad PanAm and TWA are both gone. I could not imagine them today with the terrible service on airlines. I want to remember PanAm like when I was a kid and young adult, how the Stews always treated me like a human. TWA too! I've done the JFK/MAD flight so many times I almost know how many clouds are in between..LOL...When I travel today, I travel with my PanAm bag proudly! And those of us older folks still give a smile at the airport when they see my bag. The good old days...LOL...Never thought I would ever be one to say that :)

🇪🇸Beautiful video. And best song to go with. Love the PanAm Clipper names. Romantic, Poetic, and reminiscent of a beautiful planet. 🇺🇲Bello video. E inmejorable canción para acompañarlo. Me encantan los nombres de los Clippers de la PanAm. Románticos, Poéticos, y con reminiscencias de un bello planeta.

N739PA "Clipper Maid of the Seas" ("Clipper Morning Light") - намеренно пропустил или забыл? Но этот самолёт был! Его нельзя забывать! Ради людей, которые на нём погибли.

3:44"Clipper Empress of Skies" I really like this name,747 is indeed the queen of skies! Pan Am ,TWA ,BOAC and Swissair are few names in aviation which are hard to forget.I wish if Pan Am were still here,then we would see a Pan Am 747-8! and a Pan Am B 777.

thanks for the memories! I flew twice on Pan Am 747 back in 1973..Clippers Midnight Sun and Derby Hat,from JFK-San Juan..love the presentation

I miss these planes so much. I remember whenever I saw a Pan Am jet I would be in wonder.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to work for Pan Am and fly every experience was just awsome

I think the music is perfect too for your video.

the song is : "New York Rio Tokyo !"

The 70's. Great memories!!! Love this song. Love this aircraft and this airline.

thank You Pan Am for the safe trips and memories----may your logo and trade name take to the skies again one day.

Oh memories, thank you for sharing.

My first ever flight was on the 22nd March 1983 from LHR to JFK on Clipper Flying Cloud. Fond memories!

At the end you wrote that Clipper Beacon Light was the last scheduled 747 from Rio to Miami, however that 747 and flight number continued from Miami to Los Angeles (with Miami crew) and THAT was the last and final scheduled 747 flight. I know because I was working that flight! Great video though even though Clipper Maid of the Seas was omitted.

Outstanding video, perfect song choice and some great images. was a real joy to watch.

Yes, very nice video! I loved PanAm and also TWA! Thanks for posting!

the jumbo is the most impressive plane around

I Miss you ...."Queen of skies" !

Good Memories. Thanks.

Catchy Song !

Never forgotten,all PAA-STAFF and much "AIRCRAFTS"- Pan Am AIRLINES !

@michael70224 thanks for you comment and information Chears from Argentina!!

I don’t think this song came to the US. I have never heard of the song until recently. Apparently it was a big hit in Europe and Asia. It’s a great song! The Pan Am jumbos are great too, specially I love the livery of the last phase.

Fun Fact: clipper victor (the first 747 delivered) was involved in the Tenerife runway disaster!

@IdolHans thanks for you comment and information

Muy buen video basado en los nombres de los aviones 747 de Pan Am. Cuánta poesía e ideología política hay detrás de ellos. Ver esos nombres en este video me dio esa impresión. Realmente da mucha tristeza ver cómo norteamérica dejó ir este gran símbolo de su cultura y su mejor aporte a la humanidad. Quizás porque Juan Trippe ya no vivía. Gracias por tu trabajo. Pan Am es la gloria de la aviación civil. saludos, y viva AR!

@mmrp1965 muchas gracias por el comentario amigo, en realidad yo no sabia que los aviones de PANAM tenias nombre , lo supe haciendo este video, es que tampoco me alcanzaba el tiempo de la cancion para poner todos los Clipper 747. saludos desde argentina amigo

@jacktheripoff1888 thanks for your comment and information Chears from Argentina!!

Excelente!

@MPCapricorn thanks for you comment and information Chears from Argentina!! about your question: looks like a third engina but obviously it is not a third engine Your observation is excellent

You must add clipper Maid of the seas. Such a cool and infamous clipper

Very cool!

I noticed you included the some of the 747 SPs in this. I flew Clipper Mayflower many times as a kid from New York to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in the early 80's.

Cool plane. legend👍🇳🇿

God, how I miss Pan Am. And TWA. Yesterday (today is 10apr17) that poor man was dragged off a UA flight. Can you imagine that back then?? What a disgrace air travel has become.

r.i.p clipper victor 1970-1977

@TheNw1218 thanks x comment dude!!

increible ya son 30 años, fue para los venezolanos la segunta linea aeria que usabamos despues de VIASA la mejor linea aeria del mundo. que recuerdos trae el volar con PAN AM....

@skutnik23 nice to remember these flights

thanks dude

Every country has airline. The world has Pan Am.

Excelent video

i think you took the PERFECT song for this vid. great choice! :)

@SuperAstrojet el grupo se llama Trio -el tema New York, Rio, Tokyo

@michael70224 thanks for remember these

I've asked the uploader of the original photo. It is indeed a spare engine, carried by "Clipper Live Yankee" to Kai Tak for another Pan Am 747 that was awaiting service... Very interesting to hear that story frome someone who has actually been there... :-D It was in 1973.

Buying National Airlines in 1980 was no help for Pan Am.

@LeooD14 gracias x el comentario maestro

By 1986 to 90s ,747-300/400 came into production for most airlines to purchase. Pan Am must have brought 2nd ones from other airlines ( all of them were 747-200 series) in the late eighties and up to 1991.

Awsome!!!!!!

Nice video. Thanks.

@elmauriplatense yo guardo muchos recuerdos de esta compañía que fue toda una hgistoria en nuestros países verdad? la primera vez que me enamoré de los aviones fue viendo los 707 de panam buen video amigo saludos desde mi pequeño país

The SPs are so cute.

I flew on Clipper Pacific Trader back in '72. Did not see her in the film.

Great memories!

Pan Am!

Those clipper names sure are original and creative.

@PanAmclipper100 thanks friend

Great memories.

A railroad company brought the pan am logo and name and attempted to bring back pan am as a small commuter airliner. The Guilford Rail Systems is now know is a Pan Am rail systems complete with the pan am logo on the locomotives.

@RvXKaz thanks for your comment friend

@michael70224 ese parece un tercer motor, thanks for your comment dude

I like it!

That is not true Pan Am had very good safety record take into account that it was the most popular airline in the world and also it had one of the largest fleet of aircraft with that being said it flew to more cities and destinations than any other airline their pilots were arguably the best trained so yes they were a few accidents along the way which were in all likelihood mechanical than pilot error

@peterFans thanks for your comment

Clipper Nautilus eh. Nautilus for any Wings Of Fire fans like me, is a dragon or a leader in the Talon’s of Peace.

@flyinnjim thanks friend

CHAMPION OF THE SEA FAVORITE

Clipper victor is one of the planes in the tenerife disaster

Eternal memory to the father of the Boeing 747 Joe Sutter!

Muy buen vídeo está de pana la aerolínea aérea.

Thank you.The nice video.Hey from Russia.👋👋👋

Pan Am la aerolinia insinia y embajadora de estados unidos en el mundo

PAN NAM.. IMPECAVEL.. 🍸🍰...BRASIL..

I wonder how many aircraft flown by Pan Am wore the name "Clipper America" besides the 747 mentioned in the clip. I know that a Lockheed Constellation wore the name (it flew the first scheduled passenger flight around the world) and there was also a 707 that wore the name (to the best of my knowledge it was the first jet aircraft delivered to the airline).

Nice video! But, I believe you missed N737PA ‘Clipper Ocean Herald’ and N739PA ‘Clipper Maid of the Seas’. You probably missed others as well, but never mind.

You're missing Clipper Derby and Clipper Midnight Sun. I flew the Midnight Sun on my first trip as a PAA steward, 1973, Miami - Panama City - Los Angeles - San Francisco and back.

1:30 Accident Tenerife

I miss Pan Am! Does anyone know the name of the 747 clipper that would fly from LAX to GUA in the late 70's early 80's. Best flying experience as a child! No airline can match Pan American!

Clipper black sea is my favorite one.

How did Crest of the wave come to have the blue line below the windows?

@somohsworld thanks dude!

@alfredojose23 thanks for your comment

@MakarowskiVideo thanks dude

у меня такой самолет на симе стоит.классный самолет.и компания хорошая была.

@elmauriplatense I've asked the uploader of the original photo. It is indeed a spare engine, carried by "Clipper Live Yankee" to Kai Tak for another Pan Am 747 that was awaiting service... Very interesting to hear that story frome someone who has actually been there... :-D It was in 1973.

Clipper Maid of the Seas?

Also I really love this song! Can you tell me the title and who sings it please. I'm having a problem understanding a few of the lyrics.

La mejor línea aérea que existió.........

No mention of 'Clipper Maid of the Seas' - was that deliberate?

@titanascarThe "Clippers" the name hearkened back to the 19th century clipper ships were the only American passenger aircraft of the time capable of intercontinental travel. To compete with ocean liners, the airline offered first-class seats on such flights, and the style of flight crews became more formal. Instad of being leather-jacketed, silk-scarved airmail pilots, the crews of the Clippers wore naval-style uniforms and adopted a set procession when boarding the aircraft.

In the 70's...80's...in Vcp intl/Gig Galeao...ground handling support services...until next time folks so long.

I am a bit confused. It looks like the underside colors differs from each other. Just makin a model of Juan T Trippe and i would appreciate some experts advise on how to paint this beauty ;)
