I flew on Pan Am from Agana, Guam to Los Angeles in 1977. The audio on the video system crapped out. Pan Am said “There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is there’s no audio for the movie. The good news is we aren’t going to charge you for the movie.”
We took off about 10 or 11 pm and all the passengers wanted to do was sleep. But they persisted in showing the movie with the flickering light keeping everybody without eyeshades from falling asleep.Remember these were the days of a single screen (maybe two) at the front of each cabin. This was even before there were drop-down screens hanging from the ceiling every ten rows or so.

Yeah, I’ve learned to overdose on melatonin and put on a eyecover. Most of the time I can sleep half the way, but I really hate it.
Did you layover in Hawaii? Seems we left from Travis AFB, but for some reason I think we came back into San Francisco. Lord that was a long time ago. I don’t even remember there being movies on the flights. SMH
