I hear you. Flew Pan Am flights 001 and 002 many times.

Their original corporate offices are now a restaurant and micro-brewery in Key West.

For those aviation buffs out there, visit Kelly’s Bar & Restaurant (started by the actress Kelly McGillis), the original home to Pan Am airlines.

Pan Am, originally named Pan American, was the largest airline in the United States from 1927 to 1991. And it all started in little Key West when the small airline began regular passenger and mail service to Havana, Cuba.

Today the building houses a bar in the shape of an airplane wing. Continuing with the aviation theme, the ceiling fans look like the rotary engines of an aiplane.

No museum or tour. Small case diplays Pan Am artifacts.

Enjoy the inflight beverages.

Location: 303 Whitehead Street

Indeed. I’ve seen that place in Key West. There’s another little bar/restaurant in Havana that claims to be the place where PanAm was founded. All very colorful and derring-do.

Hmm, I wonder which is the bigger tourist draw? That or the lesbian football tournament that McGillis hosts in Key West?
