747 Pan Am Replica from the 1970s - Coolest Thing I've Ever Made EP 7
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- First Class Boeing 747 replica from Pan Am airlines. (now used in the "Pan Am Experience" at Air Hollywood.) After running out of room in his garage, Anthony Toth had to move his replica 747 into a warehouse. Toth spent the last 30 years perfecting his Pan Am 1970s 747 cabin, obsessing over every single detail from the carpeted murals to the packaging on the peanuts. Toth sourced all his plane parts from the Mojave desert's "airplane graveyards" and spent over $150,000 on his 747 cabin. As he describes it "The Coolest Thing I've Ever Made".
You can actually visit and dine in this Pan Am Cabin as well. For more info, go to:

'And behind THIS curtain is, where I ran out of money..'
Radio Star Entertainment laughed so hard at that.😂🤣
pay NO ATTENTION to whats behind that curtain...
Story of my life
😁👍
He's not insane, he's just making his dreams a reality.
And making a living doing it!
They said the same thing about Hitler. Your logic is not conducive to reality.
@@b4ds33d yeah but he's not hitler.
mano county deputy where did I say he was Hitler smart guy?
@@b4ds33d What are you saying? You said *They said the same thing about hitler* But then i said *Yeah but he's not hitler. Where did i say hitler was a smart guy?
He may not have used his money to cure cancer, but the world is still a better place with people like him.
You know what? I love eccentric hobbies. His happiness and passion is infectious. It takes all kinds. This is neat.
This guy is nuts. The world is a better place with him in it.
His smile is worth every penny.
Dude's pick up line: "Wanna join the Mile High Club at sea level?"
I’m sure him and his “friends” have achieved the 3ft club.
Now that's a crash course I'd have to say no thanks to!!!
@FlappableBean
That's why he has money and time for a hobby!
I want to create a video rental/retro game collection dedicated to a room, and this man radiates the same energy and passion as I would and I admire that.
This guy is terrific. Doing something that he loves and sharing it with others.
Lot of creators do that and get ignored or pushed under the youtube trending rug..
The planes were so roomy back then.
okrajoe They still do now, the problem is that it's too expensive for the regular man to get
Yes but airfare cost more than twice as much as it does today.
gas prices back then were in bloody cents, now they are over 1 dollar per gallon
besides, there were basically no restrictions for pollutions so take both of these combined and you get a much roomy aircraft (regardless of the fact that back than only rich people could afford a plane ticket and planes were not divided into classes by ticket pricing)
deregulation changes all of it
HoLDoN4Sec Have you heard of inflation? Duh??
WOW! Love it when guys build unique stuff. One man made a 737 cockpit in his basement. Another builds full scale warbirds using corrageted metal from old backyard pools. A man in California built an Art Deco bus with a flying bridge. Thank you for putting this on You Tube. Fantastic! Hollywood should shoot movie scenes in here.
Thanks for watching! More eps coming out soon! Cheers- Guy
WOW!! THAT IS A REAL CABIN, THE BEST CABIN EVER!
There's no Qsuites, Apartment suites whatever to compare to this COOLEST CABIN EVER!!1
I'm so excited, Congratulations! !!!!
If I was a billionaire, I would seriously consider buying a 747 from a graveyard and turning it into a living space.
Everyday English with Byron I would buy a new one
Jake Watson Well sure, that too. But I was talking about a house, not a plane :D
Everyday English with Byron you don't need to be a billionaire to do that!
2018paulrobbinx Well, this guy ^ says he spent 100K and it's just a mock up of a small part of the plane.
If you want the entire plane fuselage to be towed to you place and the whole thing converted into a luxurious living space.
I think we are talking millions here.
No to mention, you need a huge open patch of land (with a good view) to put the plane on ...
Everyday English with Byron agreed
Look at him! His happiness is so genuine. I wish I have experienced flying Pan Am, too!
He was a super nice dude too!
Beautiful work of art. This gentleman shows us that although we cannot fly back in time physically yet, we can to a certain degree through other means. Just beautiful. My family and I loved Pan Am. This is just great. God bless him for keeping the memories of such an iconic American airline alive.
As an 8 year old kid, one of my school buddies had an older sister who was a flight attendent for Pan American Airlines back in the 60's. One of my first crushes. She was soooo beautiful and glamorous in her uniform. She was a gorgeous blonde Norwegian girl who drove a Karman Gia and was an international stewardess. I am sure she was the fantasy of many adult males in my old neighborhood also. Until this story I hadn't thought about her in years. Pleasant memories!
Did u date her?
Hey Brian I flew in 1972 on a Pan Am 747 when I was 10 years old and I remember chatting with one of the stewardesses. man were they gorgeous!
I flew for Pan Am back in late 80s till shutdown. The flight attendants we had then were great but there was a mystic about the ones that flew back in the 60s and 70s. I flew with a lot of FAs from Germany because I was based in Berlin at the time. Good memories.
@hectorzambrano4092 do you do "critical thinking" ever? Have you ever?
That would be a bad ass place to throw a party in!
Yes it would be!
That's cool man! I flew Pan Am 747's three round trips from NY to London when I was stationed in England while in the Air Force (between 1985 and 1988). While they were NEVER on time, or even close, I adored Pan Am, I absolutely loved this airline. I was devastated when they ceased operations. NOTHING beats a 747, and Pan Am was the greatest for many reasons, even though punctuality wasn't one of their strong points. RIP Pan Am. Gone, but never forgotten.
That's awesome (except for the being late part). I love their design aesthetic. Yeah, the 747 is the ultimate. Thanks for sharing! Cheers- Guy
Pan Am's legacy will never die
My daughter works on board 747s that are still in service. She loves that plane. I wish they still produced them. It was a marvel (and still is) of engineering.
Awesome! It's such a thing of beauty indeed. Thanks for watching! Cheers- Guy
never underestimate the will of a single man! EPIC!
creation is an act of sheer will
My boss is single, his entire life. Mid-50’s. Owns 18 motorcycles. The happiest man I know.
It's amazing to see people go great length to pursue their dreams.
Pan Am was such an American icon that the movie, '2001: A Space Odyssy', 1968, featured a spacecraft in Pan Am livery, but with old timey stewardesses. Flew Pan Am myself as a little kid from JFK to Bermuda in April 1970.
It was a 707 and had these strange TVs underneath the luggage racks. They also gave out a lot of freebes. In fact, for years I had a pair of those terrycloth foot slippers shown in this video. Great memories.
Very cool. I’m glad I’m not the only person that used to make model 747 interiors with posterboard and colored construction paper. My favorite was making the upstairs lounge and the spiral staircase. I used a lot of Elmers glue and tape.
i find so much joy in videos like this. when people talk about something they’re passionate about and seeing their faces light up and seeing them smile from ear to ear is beautiful! 🥰
Me too! More passionate people and episodes coming up later this year! Cheers- Guy
I had my first flight in 1967, so I remember those glorious days. Pan Am was the Queen of the skies, but others were not far behind. TWA, Swissair, Lufthansa, and all the different planes. They all looked different, sounded different, even felt different. Being on an airliner was an adventure, an event. And a privilege, because a ticket cost a sh**load of money in those days.
Sounds like cool times for sure!
As a fellow aviation fan, COOLEST thing ever Brother ! Born in 65, growing up the 747 was the King of the sky !
Glad you like it!! Cheers - Guy
Wow this guy is crazy! But in a good way. Hey if it makes you happy then go for it.
1:47 the bathrooms aren’t
No, just crazy. 100k on a weird personal fantasy-no wonder the world has problems. Let’s get real, this guy should have taken more humanitarian and ethics classes in college. It’s bizarro. 🤨
CheezySheen that’s a standard airplane bathroom. Have you never been on a airplane before?
If only he would've just waited for the oculus rift to come out
The best airline! I flew from Boston to Istanbul, Turkey, in 1976. The food, seats, and plenty of free liquor.
When I worked for Manufacturers Hannover Trust in the '80s, I flew First Class LA - NY twice a month. I always chose a first row window seat. Due to the curvature of the nose you could almost see ahead. On American Airlines 747 First Class, there was almost enough room for another row of seats in front of the first row. That meant tons of leg room. If the aisle seat passenger was fully reclined, I could get up and walk around. I always called my seat the crash, bend and burn seat much to the chagrin of first time flyers.
That sounds super sweet! Thanks for sharing and watching our series! Cheers - Guy
Flying then was pure elegance.
My first experience flying was aboard a Pan American 747 Clipper in the 70's and it was truly the golden era of jet service. Can't wait to see the coach class section where the rear of the plane contained a lounge area with a piano bar and a pianist tickling the ivories throughout my flight from NY to San Juan !
So cool! Would have been awesome to fly like that!
blown away. love to see stuff like this
FirstThirtyMinutes oh hey lol didn't expect to see you here.
@Irving, same. I'm into LSPDFR just as much as aviation. But LSPDFR is just a hobby. Aviation is my soon career :D
I love LSPDFR too.
FirstThirtyMinutes never knew you liked this stuff
FirstThirtyMinutes I love you GTA videos
We need more people like this in the world, never be afraid when someone tries to call you a nerd just because you have a passion for something. When i was 13, i spent hours sitting alone at the edge of a runway at heathrow- watching planes landing, and i loved it, didn't have time for friends who thought i was weird.
Agreed! Do what you love!
I love when people immerse themselves in theme worlds.
Unbelievable. I'm amazed at how much of the interior was still available to purchase.
Anthony, you have done what few people of all the people that love the 747 so much can on dream of. It gives me some satisfaction that at least someone has accomplished this. Well done, sir, to say the least.
I love the part where he mentions his oarents. People will constantly shit on your hobbies until you start making bank. It's really sad, but it's a real pride to put them in their place of 'I know what I'm doing'...
I loved working for Pan Am
The 747 was, is and always will be the “Queen of the Sky”!! One of the most elegant airplanes ever built! Pan Am was the gold standard of air travel for decades until its final executive board ran it into the ground! All hail the 747!!!
Indeed! Wish I could have flown back then. Thanks for watching! Cheers- Guy
Good for you! Thank you for keeping Pan Am history and memory alive. It saddens me that Pan am will never fly to the space station in the movie "2001".
We flew on Pan Am in the seventies several different times. Excellent service🥂 which is a bygone era. Your recreation is on parr with the time period. One thing, all you need is the electronic pong game which Pan Am had on their first class upper deck area. . 😎
Someone found this guy. That's history right there.
I will never forget my first 747 flight in 1971 TWA NYC to ATH
I´m seriously impressed! Congratulation to this great Pan Am cabin build!
Wow !! I love 60s and 70s air lines , my Dad was an airport manager here in Australia at that time and I have so many memories . It was when you got dressed up to fly and it was stylish anc exciting . Fantastic hobby you have . Grooovy baby !!!
It's amazing how the class of passenger has gone down the drain. Sat next to a teenage girl on a flight from Los Angeles to Dallas once and she kicked off her shoes and flew barefoot the entire time! At least her feet didn't smell but I couldn't believe my eyes when some other passengers went to the lavatory barefoot too. Ugh.
I love it. At 6 years old in 1972 was the first time flew to Hawaii on a pan am 747. I remember the light blue seats with the removable headrest cloth. The earphones had hollow tubing to hear the music and movie through. I remember receiving a Pan am bag and I kept that bag for years and years as my tennis racket bag and I would put the tennis balls in that. Also received a Hawaiian lei of colorful wrapping instead of flowers that had dates. I'm the same as you. I love everything about airports and everything about airplanes. I love standing at the glass at LAX watching fuel trucks and the luggage trains zooming around. I loved seeing the ticket counter employees work. I even remember those hare Krishna guys with the orange outfits with the bald head and the ponytails walking around beating their drums and playing their guitars. I remember the stewardess were so kind. They would come up and see me as a little boy and they would bring me a coloring book and help me color with the crayons. They were so kind. The food service sticks in my mind it was amazing. The industry has lost much of its original beauties but It all comes back again when I fly Japan airlines within south East Asia and Philippine airlines. I love the art you have created. It's fantastic. I found your video because I wanted to find a UA-cam video of a Pan am flight videoed in 1970. This is how I bumped into your video.
This dude is actually cool not gonna lie
This guy's a legend and an inspiration.
Glad to see someone so happy doing what they love.
The coolest job I ever had was a summer job, as a college student, working for Pan Am in Brussels in '67 and Paris in '69. Wonderful memories of Pan Am and the people I worked with at Pan Am: Theo, Andre and George.
Warms my heart to see someone being so open and unapologetic about what they are passionate about!!
He seems like a nice and chill person, so good on ya!
Can't get over that one time when he was 5, when he had fun.
And I thought I was stuck in the past dreaming of airliner golden years, stricken with nostalgia with every 90 era aviation video I watch.
This dude at least guarantees he'll be able to go in his little replica, fall asleep dreaming about flying over sees in a Pan Am 74.
I bet he wakes up every now and then in one of those seats, and just for a fraction of a second forgets it isn't a real flight.
Hats off to him, why not do something like this if it makes you happy. Life is just too damn short to constantly pennie pinch with the RAPIDLY fading promise of a happy retirement on the beach somewhere for your last decade and a half of life.
The day I quit working a typical job, and decided I would NEVER go back was THE most free feeling moment of my life- even more so than being released from jail after a 90 day sentence.
It was a MAJOR struggle and constant fight to earn the money and the right to be self sufficient. The powers at be DO NOT want self reliant, free thinking happy citizens, trust me.
If you can break through that alluring glass ceiling though, there is a higher level that is not only financially rewarding beyond belief, but also spiritually and comforting to an equal degree.
Break your comfort level, and chase your dreams. As cliche as it sounds it really is the key to your higher self, and levels of wisdom that are purposely hidden from us.
The sad part is, most are so dependent and brain washed, they not only will never even make the attempt to chase their goals- but don't even have the ambition to take the first step in that direction.
I really have no idea how I digressed so ridiculously far off topic, but if just one person sees this and thinks to themselves they do have what it takes and decides to take that leap of faith, I'll be happy that someone caught the torch that would have otherwise never gathered the courage to create the life every decent person deserves.
Man, I love an obsessed character.
Strange hobby, but really cool, excellent detail
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode “The Merv Griffin Show.” Kramer finds the set of MGS in a dumpster, proceeds to recreate the show in his apartment.
This is an obsession ... but what a great obsession !
Love the smile of joy and self satisfaction on the creator/owners face!
Kudos to you for a superb recreation.
It's so inspiring that there are people such as yourself, being a good custodian of our history.
It's quite amazing. You should see his dish collection from the planes around the world. Might release it on my Instagram sometime, but he basically had every set of cutlery and dish ware from pretty much every first class section from every airline in the world. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Guy
Wow brother thank you for sharing this video you brought back good memories
Glad you enjoyed it
gotta respect the man, hes doing what he loves
Yes!
I worked for Delta Air lines till I retired in 2010 and would love something like this. I have some delta chine for the 70's if I was near by I would love to see you Pan Am cabin it bring back soo mine good memories of fling on Delta's first class.
Seems like plane flights were alot more luxurious back then.
From a fellow aviation geek to another, this is fantastic!
SO SO COOOOL!!!!!!!!!Keep on Truck'in or I should say Fly'in!!!!!!
As a kid, PanAm was my favorite too. They went above and beyond other airlines to make kids feel special. From the little kits that had toy airplane and coloring books etc. inside, to the enamel pilot wings pins. Even the food was geared towards kids. It was very much like a McDonald's in the sky to a kid at the time. And if you boarded the plane early enough, you always got a tour of the cockpit! I flew on them all, back in the early 80s. Quantas, Lufthansa, TWA, Continental... PanAm was a much different experience than the others.
Live your dreams folks ! You got only one life !!!
MrSISPUP amen
false, after dead there are the real life
He deserves a thumbsuuup!!!
Wish I was alive back then. Such classier times.
Glad to hear he's making money with it. A definite win-win!
You should check out the American Airlines training center in Dallas. They rent out their center for corporate events and have many fully configured fuselages of modern aircraft that the use to train their flight attendants. I had the great pleasure of attending a corporate event there and on one evening they threw an "Around the world" program. They gave us empty passports and invited us to check out each of their cabins. One was configured like Russia where they served Vodka and caviar. One was France w/ wine and lamb, etc. It was really neat and it might give you more ideas for how to set your environment up for entertainment.
Keep it up.
That is amazing!!!!! I remember being on the real deal in the 70s.... you did an incredible job!
And that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! THANK YOU!
There's no substitute for feeling that warm sunlight on your face and body, and the roar of the engines, and playing hide-and-go-seek with your little sister at 30, 000 feet.
I salute you. My favorite airliner is the DC-10, though.
omg and I thought I was the only one who'd do something this ridiculous ! love it so much
After he's done, he should make this a museum. It would be awesome to see this in person
I would have done the same thing. As a kid I used to say that when I reach adulthood I would do the very same thing. A cool place to watch a movie and have drinks with friends and have speakers underneath the floors and on the sides if the fuselage outside with a recording of a jet in cruise.
It's nice knowing that someone ACTUALLY did what I drempt of doing since my childhood.
And other than the Concorde, the 747 which is being retired now is still one if the most beautiful planes ever to course through the skies.
It's amazing what he's done for sure. Thanks for watching! Cheers- Guy
How is this not a theme park / museum yet that I can visit?!
Love it every single thing. You made a lot of us dreams come true.
I flew Pan Am 747’s in the early 80’s. I seem to recall a middle aisle of 2 seats in first class closer to the spiral staircase. The upstairs lounge was luxurious. Traveling in style!
Wow in the 70’s people used super bright colors.
Amazing!!! I use to dream, as a teenager, to make my room a replica of a coach cabin. Thank you for sharing this very cool video.
stunned that he spent $100k+ on this.
I'm stunned that he HAD $100k+ to spend on it.
@@BoopShooBee He's an airline executive. They tend to get paid well.
This man is my hero!
Thank you for putting the biggest smile on my face ever! Great job.
I’m going to show this to my wife. She will see me as totally sane and normal again.
sane*
No, she will not...
John Blutarski probably not...
Actually, now it’s a novelty restaurant called the “Pan Am Experience.”
Kudos to you. My first flight was on Pan Am at the age of 4. It inspired me to become a commercial pilot.
Wow, this is great. My first flight on Pan Am was First Class, row 1, right window seat - LHR-SEA in 1978. Next to the seat Anthony's sat in at the end.
You are insane in the best possible way.
That was awesome.
That’s awesome. I love the Boeing 747 series...
At first I thought he was crazy but the more I watched it the more cool it became.
WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL NOT HAVE OVER 10K SUBSCRIBERS ITS AMAZING I DONT UNDERSTAND
Thanks so much!!! We're working on getting the word out, but I'm only one guy, so it's tough. We need more supportive people like you! -Cheers Guy
Coolest Thing thx and I'm glad to be one of your supporter's

Almost 12,000 subscribers now, pretty quick growth.
tell your mom , that's one new subscriber :*
That's really cool
I flew pan am a few time in the 70s and was lucky to fly first class one. And I used to enjoy going up to the lounge or bar and enjoy a drink and a little sing song.
You are awesome. I wish planes were still this spacious!
