Hi Willy Kaemena great you are still around yes this is a great video picked you up 10 years ago with a tv screen presentation. First originally saw you on RUclips dial up on my old 1999 Mac green colour around 10 years ago ! Currenly a priceless great presentation between West and East Germany in 1989 aviation and airports and Pan Am flights, Interflug Ilyushin II-62 and Airbus A310. Latvian connections and understand very emotional. Between East and West at the time. Now we are Republic of Latvia and proud. Regards, Ansett 727.
4 months before the wall came down. I had spent 3 yrs with my family in Garmisch- Partenkurchen ( south of Munich) 1982-85. Flew Pan Am there and again upon returning to the US
Fantastic video! I was in Munich in 1988, but didn't go into the East. Love all of those Trabants! Videos of this era are relatively rare. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the invaluable sharing of this amazing piece of history! I am surprised though, that the Siegessäule seems so close to the Brandenburger Tor at first (@8'45) and then further away as is in reality (@8'51), I wonder how that was possible.
@@wkaemena Sure, but the distance is huge, and it really appears much closer than normal, while the Brandenburger Tor appears to remain approximately the same size in both cases! I didn't know reality could be manipulated that much prior to photoshop!
To me it's getting so sad seeing comments. Usually from passengers or former pan amers ( employees). Everybody's old now soon wont be any left. And so it goes.
What other airlines operated The inner German flights Does it include Air France United Airlines trans World Airlines and British Airways? If UA Operated them it's tagged to a Chicago O'Hare Washington Dulles flight at Frankfurt or Munich Riem Airport because the current Franz Josef Strauss airport opened in 1992 after Reunification in 1990.
@@wkaemena thank you for telling me about it. Your Video had a British Airways BAC-111 Inner German flight aeroplane. I'm wondering what Air France used for Inner German flights?
@@EpicThe112 As far as I remember AF used Boeing 727's back in the 1970's although this may have changed by the end of the 1980's, possibly to Boeing 737's.
In the post-war era prior to reunification only the airlines of the 3 occupying powers were allowed to operate services to/from West Berlin which they operated from their respective sectors in the Federal Republic (West Germany). BA using BAC 1-11's would operate from towns in the British sector, Pan-Am using Boeing 727's would operate from towns in the American sector and AF using Boeing 727's would operate from towns in the French sector. From memory the BA and PA flights were all economy, although from this video it would appear that PA introduced a Clipper Class cabin at some point. From memory, BA and AF flights from West Berlin continuing to Paris or London would make a stop in West Germany en-route although there were non-stop BA BAC-1-11 flights from West Berlin to London. I also recall a daily PA Boing 727 flight LHR-FRA-TXL The aircraft would have to fly over East German territory to reach West Berlin and were required to fly along the designated access corridors and were required to descend to a height of 6000ft for the corridor sector of the flight. You got a very good view of the East German frontier (the so-called iron curtain) from the aircraft on a clear day. Just to clarify, Lufthansa were not allowed to fly to West Berlin at all. Domestic flights within the Federal Republic of Germany were however operated by Lufthansa, not AF BA PA - these airlines operated only internal German flights to/from West Berlin. Airlines of all other countries were required to operate to East Berlin Schonefeld airport.
Always fun to remember that the typical landing pattern into TXL involved flying over East Berlin
I wish I could get in a time capsule and jump into this video and be 23 again and be in my job at BA ✈️❤️✈️❤️
Thank you for this Video. It brings back so many memories of my past. I miss you PA

This is fantastic - thanks so much for posting this. It's wild to see East Berlin in the DDR days, having only been there in the last five years.
Outstanding video!! Love the old planes. Great memories.

One things for sure, everyone is well behaved compared to today's passengers.
Man i miss the full size seats 😪❤✈
thanks for posting this, it's great to see some pan am planes on the ground and in flight
Lovely, if you never caught this footage there would be no active pan am trip reports such as this one❤️
Thank you for posting this. I made many visits to Berlin before the wall came down , alas I have very few photos of my time there. Bless you.

Ein weiteres unglaublich tolles, spannendes, interessantes Video!
Those old low bypass Jets were so loud. Amazing

This was one of the few money makers for PanAm at this point.
Only a few months before the end. Must have felt it in the air.
They still had 2 years before collapse

Only Pan Am, Air France and British Airways

United did not have international services apart from Canada in 1989.
