Pan Am Boeing 707-121-"Promo Film"-1958

Video Title :	Pan Am Boeing 707-121-"Promo Film"-1958
Description :	Gotta love it; an old promotional film for Pan American's entry into "The Jet Age". Pan Am ushered in jet passenger travel in in this country in September 1958, and was the first U.S. Airline to do so. It should be noted however, that a De Havilland BOAC Comet lV landed in New York about 3 weeks before the first Pan Am 707 departed New York for Paris. Great footage of original "Short tailed" 707s with the original Pratt Whitney JT3C turbojet engines. The fin height was increased on the 707 starting in 1960, due to an accident of a Braniff 707-227 which prior to delivery to the airline, crashed on an early test flight due to "Dutch roll". After the fin height was increased on all 707 KC-135 aircraft, the problem was alleviated. This film really captures the glamour of early jet travel from the "Golden age".

I would like to fuck the girl in the movie!

Remembering the air travel in that era and knowing what's it's like today. What can I say except that the extra freedom and kindness I almost took for granted is more like a dream memory now.

Those were the days. Plenty of room, good food, bottle of wine. Nicest flight I ever had was Pakistani Airways from Rome to London.

ROFL. Funny stuff.

the days of proper jet travel wish i was there 5/5

Those were the days i tell you. I was lucky enough to fly on Pan Am s 707s as a kid. I feel sorry for todays flight attendants who get offended, spat on and attacked by passengers.

this was when people considered flying an occasion to dress up. Now you should see the way things are on plnes. I am a flight attendant, I know. But, I still try to treat my passengers like they did back in the day. I have had passengers tell me my service reminded them of British Air. I fly on a regional carrier

hardly any sound lol

On the outside yeh, inside, not sure! LOL XD

The good old days when jet travel was a joy to experience.This video creates gerat nostalgia. Superb clip.
