Pan American World Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. The airline was a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, and many historic feats. One of these took place on October 30, 1977, as Pan Am 747SP "New Horizons" (N533PA) landed after flying over both North and South Poles in a record setting time of 54 hours, 7 minutes. This "Pan Am Flight 50" celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pan American Airlines. As documented in this historic film, the flight lasted from October 28-30,1977. It started at San Francisco/SFO and had three stopovers at London-Heathrow Airport, Cape Town International Airport, and Auckland Airport. Pan Am would continue in operation for less than fifteen years after this historic feat. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.

A memorable flight on PAM AM in 1964, being only 4 years old I have full memory of this event. Our family was being flown back to the United States from my father's tour of duty in Manila as we were stationed at CLARK AFB ( now destroyed in 1993 from a Volcanic event in the Phillippines. Flying in coach and father being put in FIRST class as the flight was booked, and /or due to his official military rank Captain and mother left taking care of myself and 2 other brothers all at a tender age, father would check on us frequently always seeming a bit happier..maybe the free cocktails and pretty flight attendees. And remember stopping in Hawaii and being greeted with a lai and pineapple juice, and finally arrival into SAN FRANSICO. PAN AM made this such a life ling memorable event.

With all due respect, we did fly over both North and South poles; after leaving Boston,, we landed in Thule, Greenland then over the North Pole and on to Anchorage, Alaska. After stop-overs in Tokyo following a fuel stop in Cold Bay, Manila, Darwin, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch, New Zealand, from where we left for McMurdo Sound in Antarctica, where we spent a few hours, we took off to fly over the South pole onto to Rio Gallegos for re-fueling, then stop over in Rio de Janeiro, Manaus, Dakar, Rome, fuel stop in Copenhagen to pick up a Russian navigator for our stop-over in Moscow and then to our last stop London and finally back to Boston. My certificate says that I "did participate in an historic venture aboard Modern Air's Convair 990 -number N5615, by crossing the North Pole on November 9, 1968 at 05:29 GMT and the South Pole on November 22 at 07:14 GMT, I became a member of the first commercial round-the-world trans-polar flight and thus qualify as a lifetime member of the Polar Byrd 1 Club". We had the same crew (cockpit and cabin) for the entire trip. As I said, Pan Am was the first airline to fly it in record time.

What a great flight! However, I must make a correction: Pan Am was NOT the first airline to circumnavigate the world over both North and South pole with passengers on board, but it was the first to do it in such a short time. How do I know? I was a cabin crew member on the actual first such flight in 1968 which was operated by a Modern Air Convair 990 Coronado (N5615); the trip lasted 30 days with stops in Anchorage, Tokyo, Manila, Darwin, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch, McMurdo Sound in Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro, Manaus, Dakar, Rome, Moscow, London, ending at our point of departure, Boston. Fuel stops were in Thule, Cold Bay, Rio Gallegos. It was an incredible experience, which I will never forget. Paul Gauthier, retired Service Director, Toronto, Canada.

As an interesting aside, Capt. Walt Mulligan was on the flight for the entire time, but only flew the first leg to London. Duty and flight time regulations prevented him from flying further than that, so other pilots flew the other three legs, but he had to stay on board so that it counted as an around-the-world flight, and not just a flight with four take offs and landings! Technicalities!

@debbifuller6107 3 жыл бұрын

@@tiadaid The main reason that more people can fly now is because Juan Trippe, the founder of Pan Am wanted air travel to make the world smaller by allowing MORE people to travel for less money. He was the impetus behind the development of the 747, the first JUMBO jet and which made air travel more available to more people. So even though service was much better even in the 80's, many more people were able to travel and Juan Trippe made that a reality.

Another interesting aside. Pan Am made two such flights. The first one was in 1976, celebrating our country's 200th birthday. I think it was called flight 76, but don't bet any money on how good my memory is on this score. That flight went from New York to New Delhi to Tokyo to New York and took about 46 hours. It was delayed several hours in Tokyo by a ground handler's strike or the time would have been a bit better. The route was also a bit shorter.

@famospilot 11 жыл бұрын

The 1976 flight detoured south of the direct route between New Delhi and Tokyo, going over either Bangkok or Singapore - I forget which - to make the flight of sufficient length to be a record. I believe both records have since been broken.

It has to do with fidelity of the music they superimposed over the video. Probably from a vinyl record. If the center hole of the record was slightly off-center, it would fade in and out of tune, which would be compounded by misaligned tape heads if transferred from vinyl to tape. One possible explanation :)

To count as an around the world flight for record setting purposes, a flight has to fly the distance around the world of the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn - about 22,000 miles. Flight 50 flew about 31,000 miles; it is mentioned on the video.

@btpcmsag 6 жыл бұрын

famospilot -- around the world at the Tropic of Cancer or of Capricorn is going around by latitude, or east/west. While that makes sense (otherwise one could go to the south pole for example and run around in a 10-foot circle and say "I ran around the world") it has nothing to do with a longitudinal (north/south) circumnavigation. If you want to say "around the world in 22,000 miles" going north/south, you'd never make it over both poles. The small circle for Tropic of Capricorn or Tropic of Cancer transposed to the sides of the earth would be small circles that could go around Africa or the Atlantic ocean or North and South America, but not both north and south poles. The Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer are not great circles, they are small circles.

You have to remember when this was filmed - before the current epoch of political correctness. Everything needs to be viewed as coming from the particular era. It wouldn't be said that way now, but back then it wasn't a controversial thing to say. Times change but you can't go back and fix the wording that was OK back then. It wasn't meant as a dis.

This is a propaganda video. The flight path shown from London to Auckland does not show that the plane flew over the south pole. It shows the plane flying over part of the Antarctic ice wall, but not over the pole. The earth is flat. The earth is not a globe. The earth is absolutely flat as a pancake.
