I remember this jingle during boarding as well. Most of all, in my years of having the privilege to fly in Pan Am throughout the 1970s, I remember the extraordinary kindness and warmth of the flight crews.
Fun fact: Every transcription of this I've been able to find has the first two notes written as the same exact pitch, but to me they're clearly different. So I asked my dad's fiancee, who happens to be a classical guitarist. Turns out the two notes are the same pitch, but the string is plucked differently: The first note would be plucked with the fingernail, the second more so with the pad of the finger. So I'm not insane! Also, I'd love to hear how you perceive the difference between the notes, if you do at all. Personally I've always heard the second note as slightly lower, but my sibling says it's slightly higher.
As a 31 year veteran of Pan Am which were the best years of my professional life! I like this tune of Pan Am of the famous Clipper which flew around the world uniting people of races and cultures! Pan Am gone but NOT forgotten Robert (Bob) Weber JFK/VIE/MUC/FRA PAA #34253
Pan Am's rot began in the skies over rural Scotland (a place I'm intimately familiar with) one night in late 1988. On that night, evil reared its ugly head, as it would again, on 9/11. And this evil keeps on going and going and going. In Paris. In London. In Nice. In Madrid. In Brussels. In Istanbul. In Bombay. In Bali. On that cold December's night long ago, mighty Pan Am met its match in a mediEVIL ideology. It made the iconic company bankrupt. Pan Am never recovered. That's how the cookie crumbled.
The sad thing is people associate things like that with the airline. Pan Am wasn't responsible, they couldn't really do much more. The government didn't have good security back then and it was blamed on Pan Am. Same thing with TWA. Flight 800 basically ruined the airline, although there were a few things they could have done.
@Jack Penny Whittingdale is apparently referring to the fact that the religion of piss took out PA103 and that that incident triggered Pan Am's demise.
@@alfredwhittingdale9192 It seems the Pan Am problems started when they bought to many 747's they could not fill to capacity, then they lost the monopoly of the Pacific routes which were their most profitable, more mistakes followed and domed the company
It was a great instrumental version too, starting with an oboe passage, followed by lush strings and French horns. Close your eyes and you can visualize Pan Am flight attendants serving pre-flight drinks in Clipper Class and First Class.
I used to fly Pan Am in the late 70's on business to Guam, Hong Kong, Fiji and others. When returning from Hong Kong there would be Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airlines and Pan Am parked at the gates. When I got on Pan Am and heard the theme music I always felt like I was back in the US already. Great airline.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN !!! PAN AM put wings on me and let me be part of the best people in the world to work with and gave me the best years of my life.
When I think back to my years as an employee of PanAm, I grateful for the ex-perience. We were well trained and attentive to the needs of our passengers. Flying on PanAm was great! I was proud to do my best, and it was my privilege to be a part of this never-forgotten Company. Pan American World Airways and National Airlines. Whether abroad in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia or the Americas, we were One!
Life should be reversed like Betamax tape this airline was so fantastic service respectfully crew I remember I took a trip from Maracaibo Venezuela to Miami on Panam as soon was boarding in you can hear the panam jingle instrumental songs was so nice services as well we hope Panam back to the sky again one those days
Nostalgic. No airline again will ever capture the undeniable position as the World’s Carrier. Pan Am Flight No. 1 and all that it meant happened in another time, when access to so many new far away places was a reality to the masses. An elegant jingle and lyrics stemming from the tail end of tin pan alley musical talent, deeply rooted in classical (music) culture. Let’s just be proud and appreciative that this got made while it lasted.
@@Samuel-wr5no The Railway should sell their name to Delta and then Delta should rebrand as Pan Am and the Delta Flight Museum would become the Pan Am & Delta Flight Museum. Sky Miles would become Clipper Miles and Delta Sky Clubs would become Pan Am Clipper Clubs. The inflight entertainment system would include Pan Am Films like The Island of Dr. No, From Russia With Love, 2001 a Space Odyssey, Live and Let Die, Indiana Jones Raider of the Lost Arc, and Catch Me If You Can. The Instrumental version of this song would open humorous Delta style flight safety videos.
I wish, but with deregulation the business model probably would not fly (pun not intended.) But, I agree, Pan Am was the greatest airline that ever flew. Sadly now flying is just a bitch chore of being treated like chattel.
Pan Am was my life for 30+years. Certainly "gone but not forgotten". Former employees from all over the world still meet and celebrate the pioneering spirit of Pan Am. A museum is planned......stay tuned
I flew Pan Am a lot FRA>IAD>FRA in the late 80s. I miss the airline, it service was (and still is, honestly) unmatched in aviation. Every major carrier today is but a sad imitation of the PanAm clippers. About 3 weeks prior to the PA103 crash, I was on the Clipper Maid of the Seas on a FRA>JFK. The crash really hit home because West Berlin had been bombed by the Libyans in ‘85, so there was a great outpouring of solidarity from the people of West Berlin. I wish the airline had survived but their funding savior, Delta, was only interested in their routes and their gates. When they closed down, the world lost a great airline and a great US corporation.
For those asking. I was an employee of Pan Am & the best I can remember (getting old) is the Music came out in the late 70's or early 80's. There was two different version of this jingle & they both came on plastic bendable records to the employee's. Both versions are great just one is on the flip side w/o words (I think) I do still have them.
Do you think you could somehow transfer those to digital and upload them?? I once found a website with that and like a recording they used when ur on hold on phone but I can't find it now.
My parents and grandmom loved this song whever we travelled. We lost grandmom at the hands of insensitive animals working in a nursing home who put her in a nursing home with no heat until she got chest congested and died of penumonia. They did not even bother to send call 911 to send her to a hospital and they did not even tell us. ... so many memories...Pan Am was iconic and a good airline....may be they were the only real people who knew how to take care of people...
feel for you .. nursing home or rehab place my dad was lost to insensitive animals working in rehab. mY dad was fragile just came out of hospital and they forced him into cardic arrest. he worked proudly for Panam.
I distinctly remember this vocalized version being played during de-planing in 1984 on all six Pan Am flights that I took that year. Four were on the 747-100/200s, one was on a 747 SP, and one was on a 727.
@Jack Penny but it is posible: easyjet, Ryanair and AirKoryo the airline from North Korea See good exaples. Also i flew like 1 Jear Adi with United, was older plane, monitor dient worked right and was a hard landing were the over had kompartments opend, nur was nice service without any turbulances.
I miss PAA till today. I've been a Pan Am employee for 12 fantastic years. Unfortunately, PAA is gone! After Pan Am, I've worked for AA and CO, but in my opinion, PAA was the most experienced airline in the world!
In a book someone wrote about Pan Am, there was a true story about a woman who gave birth on a flight and she was so grateful to the flight crew, that she named her new daughter PAM ANN, a reversal of the letters in Pan Am. I believe the story was re-counted in a book written by Robert Gandt, a former Pan Am pilot.
I applied to Pan Am twice I never got an interview. Thankfully Western hired me in the early 80s. Then with the Western Delta merger in 86 I became a Delta employee. I remember when sadly Pan Am was no longer, Delta bought much of its assets and some routes. Pan Am really is a legend in the airline business.
I remember back in the late 80s, I went on an interview for a flight attendant position with Pan Am, at the Pan Am building in NYC. They had this fabulosu video, that had this jingle playing in the background. Could anyone get a copy of that video and post it? Believe me, any Pan Am fan would love that video, and I'd certaily love to see it again, and again, and again...
The first time I heard the name PAN AM I was watching let's make a deal with Monti Hall back in the sixty. PAN AM seemed to fly everywhere. I finally got to fly on clipper maiden of the seas and clipper neptune in 1977 in March. PAN AM is sorely missed.
I was stationed in Germany in the 80's. When I hear this song I think of 2 things.... I was either going home or going back to my tank in Germany. They would play this song non stop at JFK.
Melancholy. Pan Am literally defined the airline industry. So many of the practices that are now the norm all around the world were pioneered by them. It’s a tragedy that such an iconic giant went bust. There’ll never be another airline like it.
I like this jingle. What a bright, lively, and uplifting jingle for a airlines to have. I wished this airlines was still around. I would love to fly overseas on an airline like this instead of those "other" airlines that I am forced to take now. They went out of business WAY before I started my transoceanic flights; however, I do remember them in the 1970s, 1980s and up to their demise in 1991. I do have a Pan Am Lanyard (that I wear regularly) to help other people know about Pan Am airlines and keep it as a "starting point" for future research by new people that I meet. People see me wearing the lanyard and they always ask me, "What is Pan Am"? That is when I give them a brief, condensed version of the history of the airlines. Ha-Ha.
We cannot deny that it was Pan Am that ushered us into the jet age, computer reservations, and more of aviation operations and elements we have today. Pan Am would still be here if only they prioritized more on safety and security rather than the profit. That Clipper 103/Lockerbie incident was a result of not prioritizing safety and security; the lack of baggage reconciliation and more flaws. I watched a movie produced by HBO detailing on how Lockerbie happened (warning: spoilers ahead); Fred Ford, VP for Pan Am aviation security, wants to improve and tighten airport and airline security after he and El Al alongside Israeli officials revealed the flaws and Edward Acker did a different approach rather than add some of El Al's security. During a hearing of Pan Am 103, Fred Ford revealed Pan Am to be more interested in profit-making than security.
Absolutely they would of. They had the best routes and hubs of all . The best people except for executive... my dad had nothing but bad news about the top.. the flights we took.around the world on luxury service planes compares nothing to today.
We need this airline back even if just a few planes. The pilots, stewardesses, maintenance crews, gate attendents, cooks all. They will get the business. They always liked military, too.
Anyone been to the Pan Am store near MIA? I’d love to visit it if it is still in operation. I’ve bought a few Pan Am items off eBay. I loved the concept of flying from the Pan Am building in NYC on Park Ave to JFK on a helicopter transfer back in the day. It must have been glamorous to fly to Europe back then on a 747 and the upper deck lounge must have been awesome.
Mark Tincher apparently it’s at 3814 Curtiss Parkway near Miami Airport just google Pan Am Aware store, it has limited opening hours, I’ve never been there but heard about it
I've been to the Aware store a few time back in the early 2000's. It was in the same building (on the 2nd floor) of the Pan Am Flight Academy. I read that it moved but eventually closed down. Don't know if it opened up again.
They're supposed to be reviving the brand, so we may see them again. I cerrainly hope so, I'd loved to see them flying again and grow to be what they were once upon a time. I hope they will learn from their past mistakes.
As a former PA flight attendant I remember this jingle well. We use to play it during boarding. It made us all feel proud to be PA.
I remember this jingle during boarding as well. Most of all, in my years of having the privilege to fly in Pan Am throughout the 1970s, I remember the extraordinary kindness and warmth of the flight crews.

The instrumental version was used in the cabin during boarding/de-planing. I remember hearing it in the early 80s on transatlantic flights.
Exactly I remember that too
Springbok295 and on hold when calling reservations, and the safety video
Me too!!
It was a great instrumental version too, starting with an oboe passage, followed by lush strings and French horns. Close your eyes and you can visualize Pan Am flight attendants serving pre-flight drinks in Clipper Class and First Class.
Does anybody know the exact year Pan Am started using this song?
This is definitely one of, if not THE best airline songs/jingles EVER!
Pan Am had the best jingles. My personal fave was "we fly the world the way the world wants to fly" closely followed by "Pan Am makes the going great"
Listen to the Eastern Airlines instrumental on UA-cam.
British Airways is better and still being used in commercials and boarding.
THE BEST!!!
Considering it still has fans more than 30 years after Pan Am sized their operations, we can rest asure it is 🥳 Always loved this jingle!
One of the airlines that earned the status of legend, in the world of commercial aviation. Still flying high in our memories.
@@Texasstyle67 So true, I sometimes love flying PAN AM too, the Posky 747-200 and the CLS DC-10 :D

Grand!
If there was no Pan Am there wouldn't be a 747
Yep But Eventually Boeing Would Decide That They Need To Build A Big Plane Maybe Not The Same Look As The Iconic 747 But Who Knows?
thats just so right
there will be no; wide body airliners instead of intercontinental version of 737 flying in the skies XD
Anyone been to the Pan Am store near MIA? I’d love to visit it if it is still in operation. I’ve bought a few Pan Am items off eBay. I loved the concept of flying from the Pan Am building in NYC on Park Ave to JFK on a helicopter transfer back in the day. It must have been glamorous to fly to Europe back then on a 747 and the upper deck lounge must have been awesome.
Were exactly is it?
Mark Tincher apparently it’s at 3814 Curtiss Parkway near Miami Airport just google Pan Am Aware store, it has limited opening hours, I’ve never been there but heard about it
I've been to the Aware store a few time back in the early 2000's. It was in the same building (on the 2nd floor) of the Pan Am Flight Academy. I read that it moved but eventually closed down. Don't know if it opened up again.
They're supposed to be reviving the brand, so we may see them again. I cerrainly hope so, I'd loved to see them flying again and grow to be what they were once upon a time. I hope they will learn from their past mistakes.
The best years of my life!
