6:49 Breathtaking moment, Pan Am 747 and British Airways Concorde together!
The fact that Concorde just strolled through like it was nobody's business...
Two great aircraft for their time.
6:49
Concorde wasn't profitable for airlines until the late 1980's. The 747 was a great success from the start.
@@mtaylor3771747 will outlast the Airbus A 380 as well.
I literally gasped. I miss growing up around JFK seeing 747s and Concorde all the time, like it was no big deal.
Pan Am introduced the billboard livery in 1984.
I remember back in 1973 as a 11 yo we flew to the US on a 707. Then on our return back home we were on a 747 ,and i was in awe of the size inside and out .We were seated right in front of the famous spiral staircase leading up to first class. Then the word got around that Johnny Carson was upstairs in first class and i begged the air hostess if she can get me his autograph,and she was so nice and came back with a yellow slip with his signature on it. That was something that stays with me.
I’ve been the captain of Boeing 747 flights between Miami and JFK before. But my flights are usually a whole lot longer than that!
JFK-MDE-MIA
@@777jones I’ve been to MDE quite a few times.
The leg room. My god….the leg room.
Dad flew the 747 for PanAm and what a shame that Airline is not around anymore!
I’m a 747 pilot myself. One of my old squadron commanders was a Pan Am guy. I’ll bet they knew each other!
damn, he finally came back after 3 years
Wow, thanks for uploading. PanAm MIA-JFK was my first flight ever on a 747, back in 1988. I remember a pretty bumpy takeoff, several overhead bins opened up and my mom got hit on the head with an item falling out...
The 70’s weren’t that great but for the aviation industry it was the golden years
Good point. Never thought of it that way. 😳🤷♂️👍
The 70's were great!
@@mtaylor3771 No, they really weren't.
Bwahahaha. No. Smoking in the cockpit, no CRM, horribly high accident rates. Inept management and corporate raiders. Carl Ichan. Frank Lorenzo. Dick Ferris. Strikes, bankruptcies, mergers.
No thanks!
This is late 80s.
What a great insight. Looks like the captain was in a rush. He started setting the takeoff power before they finished the checklist then backed it off.
Beautiful PAA & the beautiful Queen of the Skies (: Not much flight deck automation in the eighties and second officer (flight engineer) still existed! Thanks for the doco xo.
Beautiful to see the sights and hear the sounds of yesterdays aviation. RIP PA, RIP Concorde.
I miss PanAm😢❤
Two great airplanes. Concorde was only supersonic airliner with afterburner.
Ah, my childhood, nice big 747 on a short haul flight, 1/2 full if lucky. Those were the days, what do we have now? Single aisle coast to coast and to Europe, ghad zooks.
Transcon narrowbody is Chinese water torture
This was so cool to watch!
Loved every moment of this.
I really like this video. Thank you for posting!!
Great video; I sure miss Pan Am and its fleet of 747’s
Great video! I was surprised to see a PA 737-200 in this video. I thought they only saw service on the IGS.
They were sometimes shuffled in to fly US domestic routes.
The times when PanAm ruled the skies…
They hardly ruled the skies in 1987. They were a shell of themselves hanging on by a thread. The company was being sold for parts and the pilot group that went to United a few years prior with the Pacific routes sale were the lucky ones.
and now it's Emirates 🙄
The thought of operating a 747 between MIA and JFK, even 5 years ago when they were still flying, seems insane! I assume they simply had less daily flights? The passenger volume couldn’t be more than it is today…
I only flew Pan Am once, a new A300 from LAX to MIA. I flew TWA a lot more because they had a domestic network but I miss both airlines terribly along with the passenger civility you see on this video which was the norm back then unlike today
Hi, Steven, I totally agreed with You about "passenger civility"...and Crew perhaps! Now airplanes are like big buses with people poorly dressed and often rude!...And, like You, I miss airlines like Pan Am, TWA and my Alitalia...All buried by bad management! Many thanks!

@@francescopittaluga9962 Hey Francesco I lived in Arizona during the entire 1980s. If you were the chief purser on TWA aircraft out of Sky Harbor during that time chances are you may have been working one of my flights!
Back in those days they actually served a full meal on short flights like this. Things have changed so much.
Flying Pan Am was so much fun.

Clipper Black Sea was one of the 3 747 which we overhauled in 1989 and 5 yrs later were turned into scrap st Evergreen in Marana AZ
Sparking Wave was also one of them.

Nice pan am
I’m a big fan
I'm a fan of PAN AM in the laid-back days, but with the 747-8i again.
I want to see the majesty of PAN AM at International Airport... / (^^)
私は のんびりとしていた時代のPAN AMファンですが ７４７ー８iで もう一度
International Airportで PAN AMの雄姿を観てみたいです… /(^^)
Nothing related to commercial air travel would exist (including ATC) if not for Pan Am. 🤯
They footage is from a different plane at takeoff than when it was at the gate
...and flying 747s MIA-JFK is one of many reasons Pan Am is no longer with us.
Not really. You can gain a lot selling out a full 747 with very little fuel. Money maker back then
In winter, AA flies a 777 MIA-JFK daily
Today they cram you in a Emb 175 and tell you to shut up and sit down and you get nothing
To be fair the e175 is a surprisingly comfortable plane for its size. It’s amazing just how quiet it is.
E175 is the nicest regional yet you clearly haven’t been on a CRJ-200 or E145
For a whole lot less money
@@jakeoesterreich8037 those aircraft would NEVER fly that route or a route that long. Also the CRJ-200 is a modified business jet that has a raised floor on it to allow pax seating. Which is why its so cramped
Great clip! This seems like its a clip from a pbs documentary. Any idea which one? Would like to see it in its entirety. Thanks
I thought that pan am was only international flights
After the merger with National.
I wonder if the flight came into MIA from somewhere in the Caribbean or South America since it’s a 747
Probably just par for the course back then. At the time, domestic widebody service between major cities was a regular occurrence.
Crikey, was there enough demand to warrant a 747? Wouldn't a 727 have done? (With in-flight movie as well! 😀)
When folks were civil and the women had big hair!
That flight Engineer has way too many responsibilities. Just shut up bro and let the pilots fly the plane. Go check the damn bathroom lights or something on your own panel.
When men were men.
I suppose you got buttbanged back in the day😅😅
Whatever floats your boat is fine by me
😆@@westhavenor9513
I Flew JFK-MIA on pan am. One time. But after they “came back” per se Before they “went under”. My father and son flew pan am LAX-JFK.
