Boeing 747 Tribute PAN AM PAN AM 747 history tributo PAN AM Pan American Airways JFK new York Airport Miami Int. Airport Clipper PAN AM Juan Trippe Historia de Pan Am
Pan American World Airways introduced the 747 to the world. No livery looks as iconic as Pan Am's does on such a majestic airliner as the Boeing 747. Wish Pan Am was still around today to see it's classic logo on the new Boeing 747-8 intercontinental. Thank you for posting this fine collection of flying clippers.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I only flew Pan Am once (1981) when they were still in their hayday. My trip was LAX-LHR-Hamburg-West Berlin /Tegel. Return: Berlin-Hamburg-LHR-JFK-LAX. Loved the attention from the crew. "Welcome Aboard Pan Am Clipper" was the greeting!
I am actually kind of glad PanAm and TWA are both gone. I could not imagine them today with the terrible service on airlines. I want to remember PanAm like when I was a kid and young adult, how the Stews always treated me like a human. TWA too! I've done the JFK/MAD flight so many times I almost know how many clouds are in between..LOL...When I travel today, I travel with my PanAm bag proudly! And those of us older folks still give a smile at the airport when they see my bag. The good old days...LOL...Never thought I would ever be one to say that :)
Theres no way the legacy airlines could survive. Deregulation really hurt the legacy airliners, especially TWA and Pan Am since they couldn't adapt to the change. I could imagine them having maintenance nightmares and even cutting back on maintaining there aging fleets of planes which would lead to more accidents.
Even if they survived, Pan Am would have been hammered greatly by 9/11, and coronavirus would most likely have sealed the coffin if it lasted up until now
If they where still a thing , at least today’s big airlines will have to give a better service because there’s more options from passengers to choose from
🇪🇸Beautiful video. And best song to go with. Love the PanAm Clipper names. Romantic, Poetic, and reminiscent of a beautiful planet. 🇺🇲Bello video. E inmejorable canción para acompañarlo. Me encantan los nombres de los Clippers de la PanAm. Románticos, Poéticos, y con reminiscencias de un bello planeta.
3:44"Clipper Empress of Skies" I really like this name,747 is indeed the queen of skies! Pan Am ,TWA ,BOAC and Swissair are few names in aviation which are hard to forget.I wish if Pan Am were still here,then we would see a Pan Am 747-8! and a Pan Am B 777.
blap200 same here. I had an aunt that used to live in Hendon. Hendon is right by LHR. As a kid, I used to love standing in her garden just waiting to see if I saw one of them coming into land. Why I did, I just in awe.
N739PA "Clipper Maid of the Seas" ("Clipper Morning Light") - намеренно пропустил или забыл? Но этот самолёт был! Его нельзя забывать! Ради людей, которые на нём погибли.
thank u i can remember my 1st time i saw a PAN Am 747 in 1970 i was helping my dad work on a snackbar at a drivein the city i lived in the aiport departure was over the drivein whin we gaught there a united B-727,a TWA 707 was in the training cerkit it was on a lunch brake win all of a sudden my dad and i herd a differant sound i no what a 707 ,727 sounds like but this was differant there it was a PanAm 747 IT WAS HUGE it made a left turn and made 7 T and Gs it was pilot training thanks
At the end you wrote that Clipper Beacon Light was the last scheduled 747 from Rio to Miami, however that 747 and flight number continued from Miami to Los Angeles (with Miami crew) and THAT was the last and final scheduled 747 flight. I know because I was working that flight! Great video though even though Clipper Maid of the Seas was omitted.
God, how I miss Pan Am. And TWA. Yesterday (today is 10apr17) that poor man was dragged off a UA flight. Can you imagine that back then?? What a disgrace air travel has become.
I don’t think this song came to the US. I have never heard of the song until recently. Apparently it was a big hit in Europe and Asia. It’s a great song! The Pan Am jumbos are great too, specially I love the livery of the last phase.
increible ya son 30 años, fue para los venezolanos la segunta linea aeria que usabamos despues de VIASA la mejor linea aeria del mundo. que recuerdos trae el volar con PAN AM....
Muy buen video basado en los nombres de los aviones 747 de Pan Am. Cuánta poesía e ideología política hay detrás de ellos. Ver esos nombres en este video me dio esa impresión. Realmente da mucha tristeza ver cómo norteamérica dejó ir este gran símbolo de su cultura y su mejor aporte a la humanidad. Quizás porque Juan Trippe ya no vivía. Gracias por tu trabajo. Pan Am es la gloria de la aviación civil. saludos, y viva AR!
That is not true Pan Am had very good safety record take into account that it was the most popular airline in the world and also it had one of the largest fleet of aircraft with that being said it flew to more cities and destinations than any other airline their pilots were arguably the best trained so yes they were a few accidents along the way which were in all likelihood mechanical than pilot error
By 1986 to 90s ,747-300/400 came into production for most airlines to purchase. Pan Am must have brought 2nd ones from other airlines ( all of them were 747-200 series) in the late eighties and up to 1991.
@mmrp1965 muchas gracias por el comentario amigo, en realidad yo no sabia que los aviones de PANAM tenias nombre , lo supe haciendo este video, es que tampoco me alcanzaba el tiempo de la cancion para poner todos los Clipper 747. saludos desde argentina amigo
@MPCapricorn thanks for you comment and information Chears from Argentina!! about your question: looks like a third engina but obviously it is not a third engine Your observation is excellent
A railroad company brought the pan am logo and name and attempted to bring back pan am as a small commuter airliner. The Guilford Rail Systems is now know is a Pan Am rail systems complete with the pan am logo on the locomotives.
Nice video! But, I believe you missed N737PA ‘Clipper Ocean Herald’ and N739PA ‘Clipper Maid of the Seas’. You probably missed others as well, but never mind.
I noticed you included the some of the 747 SPs in this. I flew Clipper Mayflower many times as a kid from New York to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in the early 80's.
I've asked the uploader of the original photo. It is indeed a spare engine, carried by "Clipper Live Yankee" to Kai Tak for another Pan Am 747 that was awaiting service... Very interesting to hear that story frome someone who has actually been there... :-D It was in 1973.
MrCrusher24 They didn't get N739PA plane even when it was Clipper Morning Light and when It was Clipper Maid Of the Seas, I find it sad to even look at a picture of the old bird. R.I.P PAA103
I miss Pan Am! Does anyone know the name of the 747 clipper that would fly from LAX to GUA in the late 70's early 80's. Best flying experience as a child! No airline can match Pan American!
You're missing Clipper Derby and Clipper Midnight Sun. I flew the Midnight Sun on my first trip as a PAA steward, 1973, Miami - Panama City - Los Angeles - San Francisco and back.
@titanascarThe "Clippers" the name hearkened back to the 19th century clipper ships were the only American passenger aircraft of the time capable of intercontinental travel. To compete with ocean liners, the airline offered first-class seats on such flights, and the style of flight crews became more formal. Instad of being leather-jacketed, silk-scarved airmail pilots, the crews of the Clippers wore naval-style uniforms and adopted a set procession when boarding the aircraft.
747s changed flying forever. Fares went down a lot and made it possible who people who only dreamed of international travel, have the opportunity to go somewhere that previously they could never afford. Those 747 SPs were a big flop however.
How this mighty carrier went out of business is beyond reckoning, the same with TWA. Now look at what we have left, winged Greyhounds. Well I take that back as even Greyhound has almost completely revamped their services for the better. Flying sucks these days, so here's to yesterday ....
@elmauriplatense yo guardo muchos recuerdos de esta compañía que fue toda una hgistoria en nuestros países verdad? la primera vez que me enamoré de los aviones fue viendo los 707 de panam buen video amigo saludos desde mi pequeño país
maxspears chong Yes, but that was because Victor ended up being the first 747 to fly a commercial flight with Pan Am - so that couldn't really be avoided.
Dude, thanks for the video, but it goes too fast! Please slow it down somewhat so we can actually savor the different planes...By the time my eyes really set on it to study the differences from the others, it changes...yes, I know what the pause button is...just saying! Thanks!
I loved Pan Am, and wish they could have survived, but so many things went against them.One was the quality of their service, which had really gone downhill. I don't think the employees cared anymore.I know a number of people who flew on them, and can't think of anyone who said they actually liked it, quite the contrary I heard some real horror stories about that airline. There was also very bad management and management decisions that greatly contributed to their demise.
I wonder how many aircraft flown by Pan Am wore the name "Clipper America" besides the 747 mentioned in the clip. I know that a Lockheed Constellation wore the name (it flew the first scheduled passenger flight around the world) and there was also a 707 that wore the name (to the best of my knowledge it was the first jet aircraft delivered to the airline).
It's ironic that as much as I/we love the Pam Am 747, it's should also be pointed out that it's exactly the same model of aircraft that helped force the iconic airline into bankruptcy.
I was a Pan Am stewardess from 1970 to 71…wonderful airline…dream job…thank you for this video 🇺🇸🌹👍
You certainly were there in the glory days. Congratulations!

Pan American is now American airlines
No that's TWA=American Airlines
Pan Am=Delta
Even if they survived, Pan Am would have been hammered greatly by 9/11, and coronavirus would most likely have sealed the coffin if it lasted up until now
If they where still a thing , at least today’s big airlines will have to give a better service because there’s more options from passengers to choose from
This video, this music, all is nostalgic. I love you 747❤

I believe that American airlines, delta and United Blame the closure Pan Am and twa
I’d like to see the A380 in the Pan Am livery!
@@jeremiahwallNL1011PA It is unlikely that I bought mainly Boeing airliners
@@user-xk3lj7tf6vwell they were operating a few airbus aircraft at the time of their demise, such as the A300 and the A310.
thanks for the memories! I flew twice on Pan Am 747 back in 1973..Clippers Midnight Sun and Derby Hat,from JFK-San Juan..love the presentation
I am so glad I had the opportunity to work for Pan Am and fly every experience was just awsome
I miss these planes so much. I remember whenever I saw a Pan Am jet I would be in wonder.
blap200 same here. I had an aunt that used to live in Hendon. Hendon is right by LHR. As a kid, I used to love standing in her garden just waiting to see if I saw one of them coming into land. Why I did, I just in awe.

N739PA "Clipper Maid of the Seas" ("Clipper Morning Light") - намеренно пропустил или забыл? Но этот самолёт был! Его нельзя забывать! Ради людей, которые на нём погибли.
I flew on clipper maid of the seas in March 1st 1977. A beautiful flight from Frankfurt main to JFK.
I think the music is perfect too for your video.
Yes! It clearly represents Pan Am’s global odyssey
the song is :
"New York Rio Tokyo !"
You knew before I even managed to ask :)
Thanks 😂
Really?
thank You Pan Am for the safe trips and memories----may your logo and trade name take to the skies again one day.
The 70's. Great memories!!! Love this song. Love this aircraft and this airline.
I Miss you ...."Queen of skies" !
thank u i can remember my 1st time i saw a PAN Am 747 in 1970 i was helping my dad work on a snackbar at a drivein the city i lived in the aiport departure was over the drivein whin we gaught there a united B-727,a TWA 707 was in the training cerkit it was on a lunch brake win all of a sudden my dad and i herd a differant sound i no what a 707 ,727 sounds like but this was differant there it was a PanAm 747 IT WAS HUGE it made a left turn and made 7 T and Gs it was pilot training thanks
My first ever flight was on the 22nd March 1983 from LHR to JFK on Clipper Flying Cloud. Fond memories!
Good Memories. Thanks.

That is just TOO good to not make a comment!!!
1:36 Pan Am Clipper Friendship Force is my favorite Airliner
Was Clipper Bostonian before and after she was temporarily named Friendship Force, I believe there was a special reason. Was N731PA.
the jumbo is the most impressive plane around
Ever!!!
only one word / beautiful !!!
many fond memories to a great family of co/horts
best

God, how I miss Pan Am. And TWA. Yesterday (today is 10apr17) that poor man was dragged off a UA flight. Can you imagine that back then?? What a disgrace air travel has become.
Never forgotten,all PAA-STAFF and much "AIRCRAFTS"- Pan Am AIRLINES !
Oh memories, thank you for sharing.
I don’t think this song came to the US. I have never heard of the song until recently. Apparently it was a big hit in Europe and Asia. It’s a great song! The Pan Am jumbos are great too, specially I love the livery of the last phase.
Yes, very nice video! I loved PanAm and also TWA! Thanks for posting!
Cool plane. legend👍🇳🇿
increible ya son 30 años, fue para los venezolanos la segunta linea aeria que usabamos despues de VIASA la mejor linea aeria del mundo. que recuerdos trae el volar con PAN AM....
i think you took the PERFECT song for this vid. great choice! :)
Catchy Song !
The SPs are so cute.
r.i.p clipper victor 1970-1977
Buying National Airlines in 1980 was no help for Pan Am.
Muy buen video basado en los nombres de los aviones 747 de Pan Am.
Cuánta poesía e ideología política hay detrás de ellos.
Ver esos nombres en este video me dio esa impresión.
Realmente da mucha tristeza ver cómo norteamérica dejó ir este gran símbolo de su cultura y su mejor aporte a la humanidad.
Quizás porque Juan Trippe ya no vivía.
Gracias por tu trabajo.
Pan Am es la gloria de la aviación civil.
saludos, y viva AR!
You must add clipper Maid of the seas. Such a cool and infamous clipper
Thank you.The nice video.Hey from Russia.👋👋👋
Outstanding video, perfect song choice and some great images. was a real joy to watch.
Eternal memory to the father of the Boeing 747 Joe Sutter!
I flew on Clipper Pacific Trader back in '72. Did not see her in the film.
CHAMPION OF THE SEA FAVORITE

Pan Am!
Every country has airline. The world has Pan Am.

Clipper Nautilus eh. Nautilus for any Wings Of Fire fans like me, is a dragon or a leader in the Talon’s of Peace.

Fun Fact: clipper victor (the first 747 delivered) was involved in the Tenerife runway disaster!
@jacktheripoff1888

Clipper victor is one of the planes in the tenerife disaster
Very cool!
Those clipper names sure are original and creative.
Nice video! But, I believe you missed N737PA ‘Clipper Ocean Herald’ and N739PA ‘Clipper Maid of the Seas’. You probably missed others as well, but never mind.

Clipper Maid of the Seas?
Was that the Lockerbie one? How sad that was...Very sad....

Ok
Some stupid names, but I didn't see Clipper Maiden of the Seas that was blown up over Scotland.
Great memories!
@michael70224 ese parece un tercer motor,
thanks for your comment dude
clipper victor was destroyed on march 27th 1977 in the deadliest air crash in the world, 583 people died
747s changed flying forever. Fares went down a lot and made it possible who people who only dreamed of international travel, have the opportunity to go somewhere that previously they could never afford. Those 747 SPs were a big flop however.

No mention of 'Clipper Maid of the Seas' - was that deliberate?
Yes because :
Search on Google :
"N739PA"
Yes, I know about Lockerbie, I was just asking whether Maid was purposefully not featured because of that.
In fact they mentioned Clipper victor, a plane that was involved in the deadliest plane crash in history
maxspears chong
Yes, but that was because Victor ended up being the first 747 to fly a commercial flight with Pan Am - so that couldn't really be avoided.
hell the first 747 to be put in commercial service
Dude, thanks for the video, but it goes too fast! Please slow it down somewhat so we can actually savor the different planes...By the time my eyes really set on it to study the differences from the others, it changes...yes, I know what the pause button is...just saying! Thanks!
U missed both Clipper Victor and Clipper Maid of the Seas
Maybe it's because of the reasons surrounding what happened to them
DryBonesGamer005//Pokémon Trainer DryBones clipper Victor was the first one he said

La mejor línea aérea que existió.........
It's ironic that as much as I/we love the Pam Am 747, it's should also be pointed out that it's exactly the same model of aircraft that helped force the iconic airline into bankruptcy.
It wasn't the 747 that "did that"...it was deregulation, the oil crisis, terrorism and really bad management.
Clipper black sea is my favorite one.
Also I really love this song! Can you tell me the title and who sings it please. I'm having a problem understanding a few of the lyrics.
thanks dude
