      The Pan Am Museum Foundation needs to start a Go Fund Me right now and raise money to make new ones. I don't know how many Doug and Jenny, or just Doug, videos there are, but if they don't have a complete storyline with a conclusion they need to write and produce one. Conclusion is easy: midway through a flight he starts to get unsteady and lose motor function more and more. He gets taken off the plane when they land and given emergency treatment but doesn't make it. There's an investigation because there are suspicions that he was poisoned but they can't figure it out for sure.
      We just need a series of interactions creating a more and more tense atmosphere between him and the FAs, with lots of foreshadowing, and flesh out the death and investigation. Then produce everything and put it up here.

      I guess we could TRY to act out different scenarios with newer type problems in todays world and upload them? I mean, for instance, if we have an unruly very rude passenger we could pour them a cup of HOT black, no cream or milk to cool it, 100% has to be black coffee, and throw it in their face. Then while they have a burning face and eyes we can zip-tie their arms to their chair and duct-tape their mouth shut. Once that process is complete all the other stewardesses, stewards, pursers, pilots, co-pilots, and navigator can spit in their face and we can let the other passengers burn them with cigarettes? It's just a thought as I know the whole smoking in airplanes is completely ridiculous in 2022.

      Of course! On Delta you can just have Mike Tyson punch you in the face, and then when that is over you can set them on fire and throw them off the plane. PamAm NEVER throws people out of a moving plane and would NEVER set a person on fire OR assault them with fists. Batons and night sticks YES, but using "fists" is very "low rent"....that's why Delta allows it.

    In 1980 something I was flying home from Germany on leave from my unit in the Army and was wearing a Hard Rock Cafe Amsterdam sweatshirt and faded blue jeans. We (me and a few guys) were milling in the aisle talking to the stewardesses, stretching our legs in anticipation of the last hour of flight into JFK when one of the pretty stewardesses grabbed my crotch and said in a growly voice, "Hard Co*k, Cafe," looking at my sweatshirt as she did it. As a young Army officer, I thought that was the coolest thing anyone had ever done to me. Much respect to the ladies who used to make flying an awesome experience!
