I was hired by pan am in 1987 I worked for that fabulous airline until it closed down in December 4 1991 an I was immediately hired by American Airlines I just retired after 35 years as a flight attendant I miss pan am it was a great job
Rambo First blood Passengers actually had more than a small bag of peanuts to eat. Pan Am gave you a meal that in a diner would cost $20. Stewardesses didn’t dress like they were trying out for a soft porn movie. Oh, they were ALL respectful to people. I flew 35 times. & u weren’t sitting in a cramped seat.
Beautiful.. but makes me sad. A time when the industry was grand and classy with top of the line service, not to mention catchy familiar commercial jingles. If somebody told me then that class acts like Pan Am and TWA would not exist in the future, I would have said it was impossible
@@jamesburdian56 Spirit is the worst. I had to fly them once, but it was OK cause I bought the “Big Chair.” That was literally what they called their first class. It was bizarre. There were literally only two rows of first class, but it wasn’t a separate cabin. Again, only two rows. It was weird.
I remember this time well as a kid who was fascinated by the 747. PanAm were the launch customer and we would go to Kennedy just to see it on the ground. In 1970, BOAC started operating their -136 and I flew on them across the Atlantic. Such excitement moving from the VC-10 or 707. The vast roomy cabins and feeling of luxury and modernity.
@@darrenleighton6521 Interesting, some 747s, like American's had a second class lounge in the very back of the plane. TWA put theirs mid-cabin, between 1st and 2nd class. I got to travel on 747s of American and TWA, summer of 1970. Later on, in 1976, we flew to Hawaii via UAL 747, but by then, they'd removed their 2nd class lounges. That same trip, I asked about it, and a stewardess told me that all the airlines, except Continental, had phased out 2nd class lounges. Thanks for the feedback.
Stuff N stuff Doesn't matter what you suffix it with. As long as the beginning is the Boeing 747 and you can suffix it with even - 'a dead bird' and I can assure you that it will still be a legend.
I agree even though it's in competition with the European Airbus A380. Speaking of the advertisement by PanAm he was talking about spiral staircases if you were to bring yourself to the early 2000s you find out that the current generation have straight stairs to Upper Deck where there are business class seats If you flew on Cathay Pacific or Korean Air.
Perhaps but this plane contributed to the ruin of Pan Am, first it depleted it's finances by half a billion dollars, it flew half empty most of the time and it's engines were leyendary for malfunctioning in the first years leaving angry customers swearing they would never use the airline again
From 1968 to 1982 Travels with parents and alone....it was always Pan Am...I remember the poised an elegant Flight Attendants of the l1960s I was a kid and wow! They were always so kind. Thank you for the cool memories Pan Am.
@shemstock absolutely, such an elegant, classic era. Cabin crew would escort you to your assigned seating. The meals served were "top notch". You could chose what you would like off the menu, served w/ real dinnerware, linen tablecloths. Unfortunately an era gone by, will perhaps never see that class of service, perhaps not in this era. It may be a debatable question, perhaps the asian carriers, as middle east carriers, may still instill that level of excellence. Indeed the airlines at that time, appreciated the passengers there services, took care of there passengers. Do remember that the pic would do a meet/greet for all passengers whether they were arriving/departing flights.
Pan Am and United both hired top notch girls for stewardess training. Mostly from Seven Sisters Colleges and finishing schools. The pay was low but the perks were amazing. They also got dibs on all the fine businessmen. The girls husbanded many of these guys, caught off guard as it were. Sometimes my heart aches for all we have lost. So many things done away with because radical college professors told us these things were immoral.
RIP Pan American 747 It'll always be remembered as the first carrier of the Queen of the Skies It'll also be remembered as the airline that Frank William Abagnale JR. scammed
Ironically, that first flight was badly delayed. The first planes engine actually melted down and they hurrily painted another 747 with its name to replace it. But the company was mostly killed by deregulation. Pan AM was an international carrier with no domestic US routes. When deregulation hit, it turned out to be easier for domestic carriers to start international service than for PanAm to start domestic service.
@@jhmcd2 Yes, and PanAm started having to compete wt gov't owned airlines/gov't subsidized airlines who charged cheaper fares but offered luxury as good if not better than PanAm. No sooner did PanAm launch its majestic 747 and the expanded Worldport Terminal at JFK, then it rejiggered itself as a discount carrier. I wanna saw 1971-72? Later the fuel shortage of 1974 brought about further cuts and no-frills flights. People started thinking of PanAm as being a rather crumby airline, the magic was rapidly fading.
We will truly miss the 747s as a passenger jet. Lufthansa, Air China (not China Airlines), and Korean Air were the last 3 Airlines to take the 747 passenger variant (all are -8 intercontinental). UPS will be the last one to take the 747 (that being said, the last 747 ever built).
@@adillakandi.r Atlas Air had ordered the last 4 747-8Fs, shortly after Boeing's announcement to discontinue the 747. (They are officially discontinued once all the orders are filled, and no new orders are made).
世界中の航空会社のトップだった頃のＣＭで、この頃のパンナムは本当に輝いていた。１９９１年にニューヨークを訪ねた際、旧パンナムビルに行き、写真を撮った記憶がある。今は保険会社のビルになってしまっているけど・・・。あと、コロナの直前、ハワイのホテルでパンナムのスチュワーデスだった人たちが集まり、パーティーが行われていたが、やはり皆さんそれぞれ年齢を重ねていた。This commercial was from when Pan Am was the head of the world's airlines, and Pan Am was truly shining at that time. When I visited New York in 1991, I remember going to the old Pan Am building and taking a photo. It's now an insurance company building, but... Also, just before the coronavirus outbreak, a party was held at a hotel in Hawaii for former Pan Am stewardesses, and everyone was getting older.
Thats a gorgeous PA 747 but... its tragic that Pan Am left us behind. Pan American was like the only 1st Class Airline. It was if Pan American World Airways ruled the world. It was if a Aviation dream became true....Plus, the Pan American Airways livery was the perfect match for the B747. It was if they were meant to be. R.I.P Pan American World Airways.
I love the part toward the end of the movie, 'Bullett' (1968), when they showed the interior of the SFO terminal. Theres shots of the Pan Am counter with a very elegant sounding women making the flight announcements. So polite, classy, and elegant.
Many people don't know that it was Juan Trippe, Pan Am's founder, that approached Boeing to build what became the 747. If my memory serves me correctly, it took Boeing about two years to design, build, and fly the 747 for the first time. Think about that, two years and computers weren't involved. The one big hiccup were the Pratt & Whitney engines. There were multiple issues that needed addressed with the engines.
T10067 yes do remember pan am founder. Juan was indeed ahead for his time, ahead of the curve. The aircraft was designed during that era engineers that worked long hours. Its an era gone by, but you have to remember where it all begin. The technology has improved, unfortunately its computer generated, hopefully they are looking at blueprints/schematics that were in place such a long time ago, improving design, also safety to everyone travel.
T10067 my understanding they initially went w/PW engines, over time may have gone to RR engines. Not sure if RR engines was either a quieter engine, due to noise abatement, or more fuel efficient.
747's engines were initially underpowered. American's coast to coast 747 would have to cruise for a long time at the lower altitudes until they'd reduced their weight enough to make it up above 30K'. I recall we were over Indiana before we'd reached cruising altitude.
I remember it well. We catered PanAm in the 70’s and there were only 48 in FC and 294 in EY. No Clipper Class yet. There was so much room, the even had a Red Carpet Room on the upper deck reserved for airline bigwigs and other vip’s,
More than half a century later, no faster aircraft has been built, and everything has declined except for the levels of comfort and privacy in business and first class. I wish Pan Am were still around.
Once you start getting in the trans-mach range, about .94-1.2 it gets very difficult and expensive. The 747-8 tops out among the subsonic jetliners at .91 to .92, and that's not at all fuel efficient. Mach 0.8 to Mach 0.9 is more typical
Pan Am became too big for its own good. The growing rise of small airlines, the 70s oil crisis making it inefficient to operate the 747, international terrorism discouraging travel, The Bombing of Pan Am 103, and many other financial problems led to the slow death of Pan Am.
Pan-Am was locked out of the domestic market but the other airlines were free to fly international. It would be as if Ford was only allowed to make the F-150 and nothing else while every other maker could make full-size trucks. For awhile they would still lead but over time their position would be chipped away. Same with Pan-Am. Only one product, international flight. Without feeder routes on the domestic side they were dead.
Sort of - That was Clipper "Derby" named for a sailing clipper ship that was named for the city of Derby in England. It was originally used for one a Pan Am's (rare) DC-8 aircraft but after it was sold to Delta the name was re-used for a new 747.
As cited far below, the V.O. is by Hal Linden, relatively unknown at the time, though he'd been in a revival of 'Anything Goes.'. He would shoot to Broadway prominence the following year when he won a Tony for the leading role in 'The Rothschilds'. By 1975 he was a household name as the inimitable Barney Miller in the eponymous sit com which, nearly half a century later, is as piquant, witty, and socially fresh today at it was then. As for Pan Am - everything that can be said HAS been said. And as for the 747 - still will be the greatest airliner ever flown (if you examine all the 747 mishaps, next to none is due to design flaws - indeed TWA 800 is probably the closest one can come to citing a design flaw...but I could be wrong.)
as per today, NOV 2022. the last 747 is in production. Yes, the LAST one. Actually i feel very very blue and sad .... never though I would see this happening. .....
That must have been a great time and experience. Today even long-haul flying is like catching a bus. In reserve, travelling is more accessible to the wider public than ever.
I only traveled once in this incredible airplane. Lufthansa, Caracas - Frankfurt. The most pleasant flight i ever had. Also the only time i took a shit on an airplane. Those big bathrooms deserved it!
It's kind of sad that large aircraft like this are not feasible on many routes. The traveling public no longer wants to fly from one big city to another. We prefer smaller, less congested airports on the outskirts.
Nope. People want to fly to main hubs. Problem is airport capacity and the cost. Smaller outskirt airports have lower costs, thus many airlines chose those hubs.
@dc10fomin65 yes some carriers, such as Lufthansa took on the 747' s. The 100 series was such a beauty, perhaps over all kept w/the same design, such a beauty
If not for a Fishing Trip between Bill Allen, Boeing President & Juan Trippe, Pan Am Founder, the 747 never happens. Trippe gave Allen the specs on what he wanted & said, If you build it, I will buy it 🔵💙
@andreseneklein4997 such a beauty !! Unfortunately went out of business many years ago. Pan am was a class act, certainly they were ahead of the curve, absolutely.
1969: We have 3 large movie screens 2019: Sorry folks but one of the screens in on seat on this 400+ seat aircraft is broken, so we will be delayed a few minutes until it gets fixed.
@paulmoore394 are you saying Pan Am joining KLM as part of Skyteam Alliance. Meaning KLM Flying Blue members can access Pan Am Lounges when traveling in the United States that does not apply to the owner of Pan Am European Network Delta Airlines because they shut out KLM Flying blue members Korean Air skypass members post collapse of Pan Am. That doesn't apply to the current owner of Pan Am Asian Network United Airlines because anyone who has Air Canada Lufthansa Swiss Austrian Airlines Asian partners NH BR OZ TG SQ Star Alliance Gold access to their Lounge

itsmegp46 I’ve been on a 737, it’s not cramped at all.
The Mason dude have u been to American airlines? It's the worst

Those dinky 737s led to cheaper fares which means more people are able to fly to new horizons.
More than half a century later, no faster aircraft has been built, and everything has declined except for the levels of comfort and privacy in business and first class. I wish Pan Am were still around.
The 727 flew 30 MPH faster than the 747-100. Just saying.
Once you start getting in the trans-mach range, about .94-1.2 it gets very difficult and expensive. The 747-8 tops out among the subsonic jetliners at .91 to .92, and that's not at all fuel efficient. Mach 0.8 to Mach 0.9 is more typical
Actually business and first class aren’t anything special on USA domestic flights. Just wider seats and more legroom and slightly nicer service.

@andreseneklein4997 such a beauty !! Unfortunately went out of business many years ago. Pan am was a class act, certainly they were ahead of the curve, absolutely.
1969: We have 3 large movie screens 2019: Sorry folks but one of the screens in on seat on this 400+ seat aircraft is broken, so we will be delayed a few minutes until it gets fixed.
Clipper: victor?
Es como si hubieran sido creados el uno para el otro
If Pan Am was still around they might partner with Korean Air and Air France KLM Skyteam Alliance to which I can use my Korean Air Skypass on Pan Am
@paulmoore394 are you saying Pan Am joining KLM as part of Skyteam Alliance. Meaning KLM Flying Blue members can access Pan Am Lounges when traveling in the United States that does not apply to the owner of Pan Am European Network Delta Airlines because they shut out KLM Flying blue members Korean Air skypass members post collapse of Pan Am. That doesn't apply to the current owner of Pan Am Asian Network United Airlines because anyone who has Air Canada Lufthansa Swiss Austrian Airlines Asian partners NH BR OZ TG SQ Star Alliance Gold access to their Lounge
is that plane still around or was it broken for scrap?
The 747. The most revolutionary, the best and the most reliable. Now, they are just scrap.
MEIN ERSTER FLUG WAR MIT DIE PAN AM,ALS KIND,DÜRFTE IM COCKPIT...FRANKFURT-BERLIN
What was the name of that 747 in this clip?
John Eddy like the tailnumber or modelnumber? modelnumber is 747-100. I don't know the tailnumber
John Eddy Hard to tell from the video... but my guess would be N736PA. In which case her name was "clipper Victor"
Joseph Hernandez yeah! sad that :( Clipper Victor was the first 747 to operate a passenger flight.
Is this Phil Hartman doing the voiceover???!
パンナム！か～っこい～❤
The voice-over is provided by Hal Linden, best known for starring in the TV show Barney Miller.
Oh yeah, and he also did the intro to 'Animals' animals' animals' in the 70's!
oooh, color.
Name of music in this vídeo?
Vinícius Monte just search pan am makes the going great
@@adamschizo The music cue here is completely different than that song.
Does anyone know which Pam Am 747 is featured here? I’d like to know.
Probably N747PA
Ich liebe die boeing 747 100 und die boeing 747 200
I actually liked the show Pan Am. Wish it didn't go off.
Now the 747 Pan Am livery remove turn it on NASA livery is called the shuttle carrier aircraft or SCA
