It has been twenty years today since Pan Am went out of business.
There was an era when traveling by plane meant dressing in your finest, pulling on the white gloves, and expecting to be swathed in the kind of glamour and top-notch service that you’d find in New York City’s finest restaurants. Pan American World Airways prided itself on prompt service, pretty stewardesses, and arguably the most skilled pilots in commercial flight.
Come fly with us back to The Glory Days of Pan Am….
When you’re down, when you’ve been kicked down in the street and then kicked a few more times until you’re bleeding and your teeth are out, then you only have up to go. You get reborn again, and expectations aren’t so great because they’ve taken you away. It’s beautiful to be down there. It’s so beautiful.
