This video moved me so much ... I had 21 wonderful years with PanAm in Brussels ... I remember when I first started at the BRU-CTO, back in 1968, there was a huge model of the 747 in the office front windows, to be replaced a few months later by a large model of the "Concorde" .. . PanAm was truly the most wonderful airline ever. Working for them filled me with pride.

I remember this commercial on the radio.. but after the last ''Welcome to the world of Pan Am" they sang ''America's airline to the world"

One of the best jingles ever written...and even though she never flew, I love that whoever made this video included a slide of a Boeing 2707, in Pan Am livery, taking off...

Thank you for assembling this video. Pan Am was the first airline that I flew in 1968, Chicago/London Heathrow. Pan Am was known for its impeccable service. The tune that was dubbed I remeber quite clearly from Pan Am commercials. For 23 years I worked for Northwest Orient Airlines, another pioneer, and which is soon to merge with Delta. It was a great time for me.

In 1979 BN operated the Concorde through an interchange with BA and AF on the IAD-DFW sectors. The registration numbers were changed for each flight. BN cockpit and cabin crews were trained by BA and AF.

Maybe. But you can basically tell a trunk carrier is in trouble when the median age of its fleet is between 15 and 20 years old. I don't think any of the new 320s were paid for because towards the end, they simply could not afford the down payments. But then again, maybe they did pay for them and as a result it put them even deeper.

I personally believe that Pan Am 103 was the beginning of the end. The final blow came when some sort of deal could not be reached between Pan Am and Delta.

I think they were 320s that they ordered in order to replace the 727s, but Pan Am went out of business before long before they could be delivered.

Over the years and in comparison with other airlines, Pan American was technologically so innovative in the aircraft and service that it introduced. Unfortunately its fatal flaw was that it had no domestic routes within the US to connect to its international flights from places like New York.

Oops - pardon me. But anyway, I do remember Pan Am ordering the concord (not first hand as I was only 4 years old when they went into service). Somehow, it's a mystery. Do you think America's rich and affluent would have flown on the Pan Am Concordes, and ultimately pay enough money to help the type help carry the company through? - Or do you think that the operating costs would have did the company in sooner?

IIRC they were 320's and some of them ended up at America West.
@bearpaw7214 жыл бұрын
No they didn't. The B737-NG was first delivered several years after the original PAN AM went out of business. NO American carrier ever operated the Concord, and that was partly due to the energy crisis of the 1970s. And I don't remember the carrier ever having the B757.

Even sadder, today one can see what's left of the Pan Am legacy. Rumbling through the back country of Maine, boxcars painted with the Pan Am livery. All that's left of American's once great "round the world" airline is a bunch of dirty, graffiti-covered railroad boxcars. A commentary of our once-great airline industry as a whole.
