I'd fly them just to get the cool small travel bag they used to give to passengers

I stayed at the TWA Hotel at JFK. It was pretty cool to go back to 1963

DEI and brawls will surely be a problem.

Railways

In 1998, Guilford Transportation Industries purchased Pan American World Airways and all related naming rights and intellectual properties.[145][150] The railway was later operated as Pan Am Railways.[145] In 2022, the company was acquired by CSX Corporation.

They became a poorly run railway.

Re-regulate the airlines and bring back old-school Pan Am.

Time to bring back the elegance of air travel. Relegate the pajama-wearing caliber clientele to Southwest.

I want to see Bonanza Airlines come back. Of course it would not be the same without the Fairchild F-27 turboprops.

There’s a TWA aircraft at DFW - JFK may have a PAN AM plane as well.

Gaddafi killed the airline, thanks to his destruction of PanAm 103 over Lockerbie. However, without the glamorous international routes, you gotta wonder about the point of this revival. PanAm was the flag carrier. This airline is like a bonsai tree compared to its full-size counterpart.

A dear friend worked for Pan American out of Miami back in the flying boat days. He worked on the switch over to land based operations and would visit Cuba and South American cities where Pan Am flew into.
The Cuba revolution and it’s refugees was quite poignant in respect to first person perspectives heard from the refugees sponsored by PanAm and it’s employees.

I can’t believe nobody here has wistfully longed for the return of the Trump Shuttle!

Perhaps one of, if not the greatest Airline Commercial ever. When we were proud of our country, our technology, our values.. The song, the words, the music, the faces....what a great and powerful commercial.....culminating with that beautiful jet taking off at just the right time.......
