Stupid music os not 1962

Hallo

What a lovely personal insight into the golden age of flying. Did you ever lay over in Karachi?

I was a Passenger on Pan Am in late November 1962 out of LaGarde Airport, New York as a member of the US Army on the way to Ankara Turkey. We stopped in Paris and Rome on the way before arriving in Turkey. 18 months later in May 1965 I returned on Pan Am for the states again stopping in Rome and Paris before landings at JFK in New York. Brings back a lot of memories. I remember on the way back, we spent a lot of time sitting with the stewardess back in the lounge in the tail section of the Aircraft and having drinks when they were on their breaks. Civilians were buying us drinks. The stewardesses were not having drinks, we soldiers were. Celebrating our return to the states. After we landed at JFK, we were trying to figure out how to get downtown and once again we saw the stewardesses who told us to come with them on a Pam Am bus downtown. They helped us immensely to find the Port of Authority. .

Awesome! As a current American Airlines flight attendant, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing it.

What a delight to have stumbled across this little gem! I loved flying on Pan Am, particularly on the 707 Intercontinental back home to Hong Kong. Thanks to the generosity of the inimitable Johnson Yip, Pan Am’s man in HK, and a friend of my father, I was always bumped up to first class. Pan Am stewardesses were the best - intelligent, friendly, stylish, and so kind. Their smiles were genuine. And the food - the best in the air bar none. Thank you for posting this, and kind regards from Hong Kong. PS I still have some Pan Am stationery and my Pan Am flight bag.

Oui cette merveilleuse compagnie ne meritait pas cette fin tragique. C'est Lockerbie et les lybiens qui l'ont flingué. De maniere lache et degueulasse , je pense à tous ces passagers et membres d'equipages qui ont perdus la vie. Que les familles sachent qu'elles ne sont pas seules dans ce cas UTA vol UT772 Ndjamena Royssy . Mon pere est parti faire l'enquête , et bien kadafhi ne l'a pas emporté au paradis , bien fait pour sa gueule , Sarkozy lui a fait payé la note au prix fort , mais hélas ça ne fera pas revivre les victimes des deux vols. Je m'associe au deuil des familles . De tout ❤ avec vous dans cette épreuve ✝️ 🇨🇵🇺🇲

C'est vrai , c'etait une autre époque les PNC etaient encore à l'ecoute des passagers et les considéraient et etaient aux petits soins , mais il y avait moins de gens à bord , aujourd'hui les avions sont des transports de masse , des bétaillères du ciel , les repas etaient encore des repas surtout en première aujourd'hui c'est des barquettes et de la vaisselle en plastique .

Panamerican , bien sûr c'est des souvenirs , je les voyais à Dakar-Yoff dans les annees 60-69, ils venaient avec des DC8 et des Boeing 707, mon père à cette époque était aiguilleur du ciel dans la tour. À cette epoque c'etait le bon temps ! Moi même je n'ais jamais volé avec panam , je voyageais sur Air-France ou Air-Afrique, où bien UTA et TAI, puis hélas le coup de tonnerre lorsque pan-Am a disparue du ciel , puis ce fut TWA . Les avions de TWA je les voyais à orly ,ils avaient des 1649 , puis des Boeing 707 . C'est tout une histoire et une époque . Mon père et ma mère ainsi que ma soeur ont volés sur un ATR 42 de PAN-AMERICAN pour aller de Bâle à Berlin .

0:49 Went on to play Mary Tyler Moore in the hit TV series. Fascinating!

My first ever airplane flight was on TWA when I was 14. A one-way ticket from Columbus Ohio (KCMH) to Chicago O'Hare (KORD). It was a $35 ticket and took about 50 mins. Then years later I joined the US Air Force and then the world traveling began.

Golden years....oh yeah

Love the home movies.....the music not so much. Thanks for sharing!

What a blessing of video! Wonderful and thanks for sharing!

This was the way to fly!! The Summer of 69 I went to Europe on a study tour for three months. Everyone dressed on the plane, we were served two meals. Roomy seats. The memory of that will stay with me forever.

Enjoyed this very much!

A wonderful memory of good times. Thank you for sharing your time with us at a great airline.

there should be some mention of Kai Tak Hong Kong ruclips.net/video/A0bxgcJZrro/видео.html

PanAm was the best airline in the world and I miss it! I do wonder in this world where people travel in flip flops and dirty t-shirts would it still be the same? Thanks for the great video.

I was a flight attendant for Pan Am from 1987 until December 4 1991 when they closed down it was a very sad day

I never work there

Mary!!! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to talk about this awesome move solution!

AWESOME!!!!

Hi Mary Lou...One of my first and fondest memories of flying was on Pan Am in 1967...We flew from Boston to SFO on a TWA 707 and then Pan Am to HNL on another 707...I went onto flying in the Navy, and then the airlines too...Now, I'm working as an instructor in my "retirement" job...

Thank you Mary Lou!! “Pan-Am gone but not forgotten” not ever! My mom can attest to the outstanding experience she had on Pan American of that era. It brings tears to my eyes, what I would have given to fly like that as opposed to the sardine cans of today!😊🛩

WOW GOLDEN AGE OF FLYING THANK YOU FOR SHARING PEACE AND LOVE ❤🌷

It was rare that anyone shooting Super 8 film in 1962 knew how to properly hold the camera, refrain from silly smash zooms & pan slowly to allow the viewer to digest what we are seeing. Even the use of color film & shots that last longer than a few seconds. We take all of these techniques for granted in 2022 but 60 years ago when Super 8 cameras were activated by depressing a trigger most home movie enthusiasts shot barely watchable content. Their shots were typically jiggly whip-pans of random 3 second scenes that present with zero rhyme or reason. Exacerbating the issues: most people mugged for the cameras like they were having a still photo cameo taken; resulting in bizarre, jilted human behavior that doesn’t represents who they were. These are truly unique pieces. They should be submitted to flight museums. Some curators, somewhere would definitely use the footage. Thank you for posting this. I’ll likely tweet it out to my 26k this afternoon. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Was Mary in the class with Leslie Peters Robson? Think I see Leslie in photos here. Leslie wrote a marvelous book, “Girls in Blue,” and a Mary from England was in her Pan Am Training Class 12. The stewardess second from the right at 1:01 look like Leslie. Great rare video! Thanks.

No sound. Do you have Clip with sound?

Thank you! Very interesting.

Love this film. I wonder if you have an opinion if any airline come close to pan am, ie Turkish or Singapore airlines. I read that pan am helped SQ set up their training when they were getting started. They have a good reputation of service across the classes.

That was great , music cool to Thank you

Very good!! I was a stewardess (flight attendant) in a brazilian airline (VASP), for 10 years. What a great and beautiful experience!! Proud of being a flight attendant! Kisses to you all !😘

I miss the free cigarettes they give to you in clipper class !!

What a great video!! Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the far flung places you traveled to Mary. What a different world it is now, Iran continues to be a no travel zone, and Lebanon endured a bloody civil war for many years. Being able to travel to different countries and learning about different cultures helps to lessen the tensions in the world.

Thank you for the video, it was fantastic, and great to see the Levant before the events of the '70s unfolded.

great memento mori of Pan Am as a metaphor that once ruled the skies as Britain ruled the waves before...

Mary Lou you are such a Blessing

Comment !!! Pas un seul commentaire en Français !!! J' ai - comme plein d'amis à moi !!! - passé de merveilleux moments à la PANAM !! Mon dernier emploi, apres les Communication, leTraffic Passagers, ce fût les Public Relations et dont j'avais la responsabilité à CDG AIRPORT et de venue Nr 1 dans ne Monde.. !!! De merveilleux souvenirs. Merci à ce film.!! À Tous mes amis PANAM : Manifestez-vous !!! Et très amicalement à Vous Tous. G.ch.

This is some rare footage

What a wonderful and precious gift you gave to all the world by sharing this video! Of a time when flying was elegant...😃 Just watch the little Pillbox hats and WHITE GLOVES!😃 And if I may say so, these girls in fashionable skirts (1962!!!) WHAT BEAUTIFUL LEGS! 🤭🤗 I mean this as a compliment! Not to forget, for me as a German, PAN AM was the most favourite airline to go to Berlin from 1961 to 1989! During Cold War. So This Airline is a very special memory to many Germans! Thanks a LOT!🌹🙏👍❣️

The 60s were awesome!!! And traveling in a Pan Am Clipper, My God!!! Thank you for this special footage, realy enjoyed!

Both of my sisters were stewardesses for American. Thanks for bringing back the memories of those days.

What a treasure trove you have here! Just think: service to Rangoon (and, as I recall, Saigon, too); Beirut in the pre-civil war days; approaching the glory days of the Shah's Tehran, when an American could freely walk along the streets and not be vilified (I loved the young man in the background who kept trying to keep himself in frame); and Hong Kong, while you could still see magnificent views of the harbor, and not just a solid mass of highrises. Thank you, Ms. Bigelow for shating this with us.

I grew up with pan American. my dad was operations manager at m.i.a, and my worked flight watch. my half sister was a stewardess in the early 5os, with pan American. contact was lost over time. her maiden name was marion moon . is there any pan American people out there who could help me look up her records? or tell me how? cheers 🍾🍾🍾🏳️‍🌈

My mother was an Air Stewardess on Air France 1959-1968, late career shifts included weekly Paris to JFK and always in admiration of Pan-Am crew, so stylish....she also always noted the introduction of the Boeing 747 (which she did not experience) was a turning point for the aviation industry. Moreover, back then, as part of your contract, you signed you would not marry or have children. This was company policy.

The Glory Days of commercial flying.
