This is really interesting .. It long, about an hour, but you'll learn things that you never new before... My Father, was with Pan Am in the early forties and new most of the big wigs, including Juan Tripp...
Take some time and enjoy this story... And Yes, to fly Pan Am was a treat, unlike today when its a chore...

A very big chore, since Pan Am doesn't exist. Makes it extremely tough. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a very good friend that few for pan am. He was a captan. Him and a few others were put out to pasture when they reached 60 years old. They fought the retirerment and after a few years they recived their back pay for the years that they could have been working. He was a fighter piolt during ww2. He loved to fly gliders. Said it was the best flying, No noise just you and the air curents. Pam Am was the leader in world. How the mighty have fallen.

I used to really enjoy flying but it's getting more and more like a Greyhound bus.
