Great shots, especially from the 1960s when Pan Am was truly at the top of their game! A young, modern fleet, an unparalleled worldwide route network, and a sterling reputation for comfort and service.
Great video! The shot of New York City and the Pan Am building on Park Avenue was a nice idea. I never got used to seeing the building with the MetLife signs on top. The original Pan Am colors looked great on the 727. I was never all that excited about the "billboard" logo. Thanks for the show.
@@Starboard76 Do you know that Pan Am lost a 727 in Nov 1966 on final approach to Berlin Tegel TXL ? The circumstances have never been revealed . It crashed in the Soviet Zone about 8 miles from TXL Airport. At that night Tempelhof was closed due to runway construction works.
It was a b727-30 called clipper münchen. Reported was bad weather . The Tower gave Instruction to leave FL9000 to 3000 following received the approach. they decended to FL2000 and leaved the corridor and collided with a mountain or better hill. , exploded al 3 pilots dead cause it was anight postal flight . Most of the plane parts were given back to west authority but cockpit instruments and the black boxes never given back and are in Russia
No, they 727 fleets were strategically based in Germany and London and branched out over Europe from there. Same in Japan..but no trans-Pacific nor trans-Atlantic trips.

You're welcome David, I agree with every single word!
PAA B727 always be remembered, toffs and landings are a great show.
Nice! I didn't realize they had 727s visiting Osaka.
Oh yeah man, to do the milk run to Guam and some 'intra-Japan' connections as well as connections to Seoul.
Yes, the 727 was the workhorse in the Berlin network. Cheers from West-Berlin
Thanks for checking out the past- the best years of aviation!

So the 727 could fly overseas? Must’ve been with stops. Great video!! I once flew on a Continental 727 from Newark, NJ to Dallas-Ft. Worth.
