I miss flying on Pan American B-707 when I was a kid!! It was the mid '60s in that period Stewardess outfit of 50s and 60s are my favorite! I love Pan Am
Great memories of a time when air travel was "elegant". Now, air travel is akin to a bus ride in the sky.
Well when the company making the plane is called AIRBUS what did people expect would happen? 🤣
But yeah the days of elegant or even remotely comfortable air travel are truly gone. Unless you can afford first or business class.
It was elegant - but you paid. Unless you were very well off, flying wasn't an option, except as a literal once-in-a-lifetime experience. I remember seeing ads in 1970 for BOAC (as they then were) offering Sydney-London economy return for AUD $700 in 1970 - the equivalent of $8,552.17 today. You could do it for $2000 or less now.
@@Elitist20 Hence my comment of "elegant". You get what you in pay for.
N709PA, the 707 in this film, was struck by lightning which ignited fuel vapors and caused an explosion and full separation of a wing. The plane crashed near Baltimore. Very sad indeed.
Thank you for the info.
Right near the crash site of an Eastern DC-4 in the late 40's.
This film also features 710PA - scrapped in 1984
I am seeing N710PA at 8:54 for Paris anyway I have not finished watching the film. I remember reading about the Elkton Maryland crash to think it would take TWA Flight 800 before fuel inerting systems were seriously considered as mandatory equipment on civil aircraft. Not too sure any FAA rule mandates it to this day. Some general aviation PJs have it. I remember reading my Falcon brochure sent to me that said the jet had it. Will have to look it up in my records.
Fascinating how a 707 morphed into a DC-8.
I remember as a kid flying - we'd get dressed properly, they gave out playing cards, kids were given "wings" after we landed, we were served hot meals, stewardesses (oops...FLIGHT ATTENDANTS) were pleasant and glad to see you, and just an exciting time at the airport. Now.......its just not pleasant.
The good old days
Pan Am makes the going great.
I loved it. Like mid 1950s Science Fiction UFO, movie
I remember traveling like this as a kid. Boy have times changed!!! Now you can barely get a boxed lunch and drink. What a shame!!!
Integration, dear.
Indeed. You don’t even get a boxed lunch and when you do, it’s all prepackaged crap like Doritos, Oreos and stuff like that.
Flying used to be very enjoyable, now it's a chore like a long bus ride.
I was waiting for the little girl to light up when the NO SMOKING sign was turned off.
Very Cinematic Two.
This is awesome. A real insight into the past, when people got along without computer
The "Spread" was ridiculous. Pheasant, Caviar, Lobster and Champagne? Waiter in White Coat? Good ol days indeed!
Only the "whisper of the wind??" AND the roar of 4 jet engines!! HA HA!!
Now I am seeing N711 PA which jet are we flying on?18:44
Flew the 747 sp from HNL to AKL !
Same in ‘82. Good times.
Anyone else get the feeling that society had de evolved ? Videos of people punching each other over a seat recline are the “new normal.” I wish jet travel was still expensive to filter out the trash.
No karens in the 60s ?
@@stuartlee6622 ummm… no , just no uncivilized people
Plenty of people with money are your so-called "trash." Life truly sucked for many many Americans during the time this video was made. But I guess that is the "trash" you're referring to 🤷♂️
Deregulation is the culprit.
We live in the Stupid age.
Apparently, turbulence in clear skies not existed in the past.
