[@briangarrow448]

As an 8 year old kid, one of my school buddies had an older sister who was a flight attendent for Pan American Airlines back in the 60's. One of my first crushes. She was soooo beautiful and glamorous in her uniform. She was a gorgeous blonde Norwegian girl who drove a Karman Gia and was an international stewardess. I am sure she was the fantasy of many adult males in my old neighborhood also. Until this story I hadn't thought about her in years. Pleasant memories!

[@hectorzambrano4092]

Did u date her?

[@JOECANDELA22]

Hey Brian I flew in 1972 on a Pan Am 747 when I was 10 years old and I remember chatting with one of the stewardesses. man were they gorgeous!

[@bullwinklejmoos]

I flew for Pan Am back in late 80s till shutdown. The flight attendants we had then were great but there was a mystic about the ones that flew back in the 60s and 70s. I flew with a lot of FAs from Germany because I was based in Berlin at the time. Good memories.

[@MrSkrifle]

​@hectorzambrano4092 do you do "critical thinking" ever? Have you ever?

[@broadstreet21]

​@@hectorzambrano4092Uhh, she would be a lot older than him.

[@RaptorFromWeegee]

Pan Am was such an American icon that the movie, '2001: A Space Odyssy', 1968, featured a spacecraft in Pan Am livery, but with old timey stewardesses. Flew Pan Am myself as a little kid from JFK to Bermuda in April 1970. It was a 707 and had these strange TVs underneath the luggage racks. They also gave out a lot of freebes. In fact, for years I had a pair of those terrycloth foot slippers shown in this video. Great memories.

[@hannahbeanies8855]

You know what? I love eccentric hobbies. His happiness and passion is infectious. It takes all kinds. This is neat.

[@tommynorthwood]

His smile is worth every penny.

[@NYVET48TFW]

That's cool man! I flew Pan Am 747's three round trips from NY to London when I was stationed in England while in the Air Force (between 1985 and 1988). While they were NEVER on time, or even close, I adored Pan Am, I absolutely loved this airline. I was devastated when they ceased operations. NOTHING beats a 747, and Pan Am was the greatest for many reasons, even though punctuality wasn't one of their strong points. RIP Pan Am. Gone, but never forgotten.

[@CoolestThing]

That's awesome (except for the being late part). I love their design aesthetic. Yeah, the 747 is the ultimate. Thanks for sharing! Cheers- Guy

[@MisterAutist]

I want to create a video rental/retro game collection dedicated to a room, and this man radiates the same energy and passion as I would and I admire that.

We need more people like this in the world, never be afraid when someone tries to call you a nerd just because you have a passion for something. When i was 13, i spent hours sitting alone at the edge of a runway at heathrow- watching planes landing, and i loved it, didn't have time for friends who thought i was weird.

Good for you! Thank you for keeping Pan Am history and memory alive. It saddens me that Pan am will never fly to the space station in the movie "2001".

[@paulht3251]

We flew on Pan Am in the seventies several different times. Excellent service🥂 which is a bygone era. Your recreation is on parr with the time period. One thing, all you need is the electronic pong game which Pan Am had on their first class upper deck area. . 😎

[@richardgodber8369]

Wow !! I love 60s and 70s air lines , my Dad was an airport manager here in Australia at that time and I have so many memories . It was when you got dressed up to fly and it was stylish anc exciting . Fantastic hobby you have . Grooovy baby !!!

[@largol33t1]

It's amazing how the class of passenger has gone down the drain. Sat next to a teenage girl on a flight from Los Angeles to Dallas once and she kicked off her shoes and flew barefoot the entire time! At least her feet didn't smell but I couldn't believe my eyes when some other passengers went to the lavatory barefoot too. Ugh.

It's quite amazing. You should see his dish collection from the planes around the world. Might release it on my Instagram sometime, but he basically had every set of cutlery and dish ware from pretty much every first class section from every airline in the world. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Guy

[@okrajoe]

The planes were so roomy back then.

[@grimhunter42]

okrajoe They still do now, the problem is that it's too expensive for the regular man to get

[@rosco0101]

Yes but airfare cost more than twice as much as it does today.

[@HoLDoN4Sec]

gas prices back then were in bloody cents, now they are over 1 dollar per gallon besides, there were basically no restrictions for pollutions so take both of these combined and you get a much roomy aircraft (regardless of the fact that back than only rich people could afford a plane ticket and planes were not divided into classes by ticket pricing)

[@MrUranium238]

deregulation changes all of it

[@xXcangjieXx]

HoLDoN4Sec Have you heard of inflation? Duh??

[@georger64]

I had my first flight in 1967, so I remember those glorious days. Pan Am was the Queen of the skies, but others were not far behind. TWA, Swissair, Lufthansa, and all the different planes. They all looked different, sounded different, even felt different. Being on an airliner was an adventure, an event. And a privilege, because a ticket cost a sh**load of money in those days.

[@CoolestThing]

Sounds like cool times for sure!

[@PedroConejo1939]

Wow, this is great. My first flight on Pan Am was First Class, row 1, right window seat - LHR-SEA in 1978. Next to the seat Anthony's sat in at the end.

[@carrollshelby8690]

When I worked for Manufacturers Hannover Trust in the '80s, I flew First Class LA - NY twice a month. I always chose a first row window seat. Due to the curvature of the nose you could almost see ahead. On American Airlines 747 First Class, there was almost enough room for another row of seats in front of the first row. That meant tons of leg room. If the aisle seat passenger was fully reclined, I could get up and walk around. I always called my seat the crash, bend and burn seat much to the chagrin of first time flyers.

[@CoolestThing]

That sounds super sweet! Thanks for sharing and watching our series! Cheers - Guy

[@archangel2143]

The 747 was, is and always will be the “Queen of the Sky”!! One of the most elegant airplanes ever built! Pan Am was the gold standard of air travel for decades until its final executive board ran it into the ground! All hail the 747!!!

[@CoolestThing]

Indeed! Wish I could have flown back then. Thanks for watching! Cheers- Guy

[@mikesacco8457]

Glad to see someone so happy doing what they love.

[@jimhays2772]

Very cool.. I flew many many times first class on Pan Am ( my Dad was a PA pilot) and while going to school overseas they were some great memories. This model brings me back!

[@hghbryson6821]

This guy's a legend and an inspiration.

[@attakula]

My first experience flying was aboard a Pan American 747 Clipper in the 70's and it was truly the golden era of jet service. Can't wait to see the coach class section where the rear of the plane contained a lounge area with a piano bar and a pianist tickling the ivories throughout my flight from NY to San Juan !

[@CoolestThing]

So cool! Would have been awesome to fly like that!

[@ByronClips]

If I was a billionaire, I would seriously consider buying a 747 from a graveyard and turning it into a living space.

[@jakewatson2660]

Everyday English with Byron I would buy a new one

[@ByronClips]

Jake Watson Well sure, that too. But I was talking about a house, not a plane :D

[@2018paulrobbinx]

Everyday English with Byron you don't need to be a billionaire to do that!

[@ByronClips]

2018paulrobbinx Well, this guy ^ says he spent 100K and it's just a mock up of a small part of the plane. If you want the entire plane fuselage to be towed to you place and the whole thing converted into a luxurious living space. I think we are talking millions here. No to mention, you need a huge open patch of land (with a good view) to put the plane on ...

[@2018paulrobbinx]

Everyday English with Byron agreed

[@jimdep333]

Wonderfully nostalgic. I flew on a National Airlines 747-100 in 1972 as a youngster. Unfortunately I was in coach and never made it up the spiral staircase of that aircraft. Great memories bringing this back to life.

[@kathyh4804]

That is amazing!!!!! I remember being on the real deal in the 70s.... you did an incredible job!

[@Bianca-ke1rn]

This is awesome. PanAm was always my favorite airline. Flew it often as a very young child. I will never forget that staircase etched forever in my mind. I have flown many airlines in my lifetime, PanAm will always be my favorite. Miss it greatly!! Very cool thing this is, looks like it was worth every dollar he spent. 💕

[@johnstafford6810]

This is an obsession ... but what a great obsession !

[@austindarrenor]

Great stuff! When I was four years old I flew on an SAS DC-7 from LA to Copenhagen and still have vivid memories of the flight. Up until my late teens got to fly all over the world and always loved it. If I had a time machine the first thing that I would do is go back to the 1950's and take a cross-country flight on a TWA Super Connie.

[@chappye7]

Strange hobby, but really cool, excellent detail

[@TigerAlley]

I understand your passion. I feel the same way about Qantas 747 in which I travelled from when I was a toddler. I love everything about the cabin, including the patterns and colours on the fabric of the seats. Much respect and regards to you from Australia!

You should check out the American Airlines training center in Dallas. They rent out their center for corporate events and have many fully configured fuselages of modern aircraft that the use to train their flight attendants. I had the great pleasure of attending a corporate event there and on one evening they threw an "Around the world" program. They gave us empty passports and invited us to check out each of their cabins. One was configured like Russia where they served Vodka and caviar. One was France w/ wine and lamb, etc. It was really neat and it might give you more ideas for how to set your environment up for entertainment. Keep it up.

[@todeotodeo140]

I love it. At 6 years old in 1972 was the first time flew to Hawaii on a pan am 747. I remember the light blue seats with the removable headrest cloth. The earphones had hollow tubing to hear the music and movie through. I remember receiving a Pan am bag and I kept that bag for years and years as my tennis racket bag and I would put the tennis balls in that. Also received a Hawaiian lei of colorful wrapping instead of flowers that had dates. I'm the same as you. I love everything about airports and everything about airplanes. I love standing at the glass at LAX watching fuel trucks and the luggage trains zooming around. I loved seeing the ticket counter employees work. I even remember those hare Krishna guys with the orange outfits with the bald head and the ponytails walking around beating their drums and playing their guitars. I remember the stewardess were so kind. They would come up and see me as a little boy and they would bring me a coloring book and help me color with the crayons. They were so kind. The food service sticks in my mind it was amazing. The industry has lost much of its original beauties but It all comes back again when I fly Japan airlines within south East Asia and Philippine airlines. I love the art you have created. It's fantastic. I found your video because I wanted to find a KZbin video of a Pan am flight videoed in 1970. This is how I bumped into your video.

Thanks to my mum making a scrap book of our trip I still have my original ticket and boarding pass for that flight. I remember thinking this is so big and the seat colour's were very distinctive.
