Does anyone remember Pan American?

Post by mike213 » Mon Dec 16, 2013 10:37 am

A couple of weeks ago, it was the 22nd anniversary of the closure of Pan American World Airways (source: http://www.aircharterservice.com/blog/t ... s-downfall) and while I never got the chance to ever fly with them, I still recognise how much of a powerhouse they were in the aviation industry, especially at their peak.

I'd have loved to experience them during the 70s, when they were at the front of the airline industry, which brings me to my next question: Did anyone on this forum ever fly with Pan American? If so, what was your experience of it? And do you wish they were still around?

I've never flown with them but I remember seeing their DC-8s, 707s, 727s & 747s at Heathrow and other exotic places. :)
