I remember when I was 5, the PanAm pilot gave me a little model plane and PanAm branded deck of cards and then showed me the cockpit. I also remember being very comfortable and happy about flying. Those were the days.

A friend of mine was serving with the Army in Germany. Due to problems with out processing he missed his departing flight. The flight he missed was the flight that perished over Lockerbie.
-
When I see the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey that shows Pan Am as the leader in Commercial Space Flight, I can't help but feel a sense of wonder and amazement. As if I've been transported into an alternate universe, a future that could have been.

My sincere condolences to that Gentleman’s Fiancé it’s very brave of him to tell how things were for him and the other people still suffering to this day
-
I'm so sorry for that Stewart and his fiancee it must have been destroying to see her name on that list

7:05 this dude is legit filling up his lawn mower at the gas station

Long time ago, when people actually bathed before boarding a plane.

I got hired by PAN AM as a flight attendant right before their demise. Being hired by PAN AM was a pretty big deal back then and I was super excited. No one thought this giant could ever be touched. Sad to see her gone from the skies. She was in trouble in 1988 and then flight 103 was bombed in the sky. We never recovered. The PAN AM logo was the 2nd most recognized symbol in world. Coke being the first.
-
As soon as PAN-AM died a piece of America's Soul Died with it.
-
Pilot episode I now see why this was the PILOT episode.
-
Pan American still exists today in the form of Pan American International Flight Academy. It is based in MIA and trains thousands of pilots. The MIA building is like a museum, displaying pictures and memorabilia of that great airline. Thanks for the video..... Tom McIntyre, former 747 Program Manager for Pan Am International Flight Academy.

One more thing that hurt. Pan Am had only international routes when the fuel crisis hit. Airlines around the world, including domestic US, got subsidized fuel. Without domestic flights, Pan Am did not get this benefit, which served to magnify their losses compared to other carriers. By the time they gained links to domestic service, they were way behind the 8-ball and never really recovered. Then terrorists seemed to target Pan Am because it was so iconic and symbolized the West; the rest is history.
-
I don't care what the building says on top. It's still The Pan Am Building to me!
-
I remember flying on Pan Am several times back in the day, great service, friendly, professional. None of the domestic airlines today even comes close to the service provided by Pan Am, what a shame.
-
Pan Am is quite an example of "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" And it truly is tragic this happened to a great company like Pan Am
-
I remember flying Pan Am when I was 9 years back in 89. We were flying from Miami to Houston and I'll never forget that the captain let me inside the cockpit, it was the most exciting day of my life . Never thought that they were a company on the brink of extinction.
-
One of the most beautiful company logo's in history imho.
-
Although their bankruptcy is tragic, perhaps there is some good in it. Pan Am was the airline to fly, and if they were around today sadly I don't think that would be the case. They met their demise without compromising their customer experience, which in a way is a noble way to go. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Pan Am died a "hero" in the heart of the aviation community.

Jeez I was not even alive to experience most of these companies but I still get nostalgia from these vids for some reason
