My father Captain Harvey Beebe Jr flew for Pan Am for 32 years of meritorious service retiring in 1987. He was an aviation pioneer and trailblazer. He started on the DC-7'S and moved on to the B707 and finished on the B747 from which he retired as a captain in 1987. He flew all versions of the 747 up to and including the 400 series which just came in as he was retiring. Neither professionally nor privately did he ever put a scratch on himself an airplane or anyone he transported for 58 years overall and 55000 flight hours. The world will never see another one like him.

As a little boy in the 1960ies, we flew all over. I was a member of the Pan Am Clipper club. We had a book that the crew and captain filled out on each trip. We also received pins for our jackets. Part of the club was that we got to visit the air crew in the cockpit. Those were the days. Then in the early seventies, the Jumbo jet's came to be. I remember flying to CA from DC in an empty wide body. I took an entire row in the middle and went to sleep! Today, Good Luck, I feel like a sardine squeezed into a rusty can.

It's 2023, 64 years since this film was made. We still fly on jets. Some advancements in flight, to be sure, nothing like the 64-year leap from 1895 to 1959. Someone living in 1895 could not have imagined what Pan Am is showing as the travel experience in 1959. But someone from 1959 wouldn't find the travel experience in 2023 all that unimaginable. Perhaps they would have thought by 2023 we'd be making regular "flights" to a moon base or Mars base. Instead, we got a flight experience downgrade: overbooked flights, tiny seats, passengers in pajamas, and heavy security lines.

Yeah, this film pre-dates jetways, where passengers had to walk out of the terminal onto the tarmac, and walk up the steps to the plane's doorway. I love to watch some of these boarding scenes in pre-1960 films. No matter how many times I watch "All About Eve" (1950), I view the scene where Margo is bidding adieu to her lover, Bill, at the airport (ostensibly Idlewild, but, more likely Burbank) with something akin to nostalgia. Yes, the one-story terminal has the prefab look of military ATC structures, and the low-ceilinged corridor is cramped and poorly-lit. But the scene makes me long for the time when travelers had only a very short distance to walk to the embarkation point, were uninhibited by security personnel/ checkpoints, and could be accompanied by loved ones with whom they could share lengthy farewells before leaving to board their plane, a mere dozen yards away. There are some great videos on KZbin, shot at civilian airports from 1950 to mid-1960s, that show the one-story terminals and ground boarding of facilities that had served for decades as municipal airports (NYC's LaGuardia, Washington National, Chicago Midway, LA's Grand Central and Burbank). KZbin's thekinolibrary, in particular, has fascinating color films of mid-century Idlewild's air traffic. Many of the newer airports (Idlewild, Dulles, O'Hare, LAX) had been built in areas farther from the city centers in order to accommodate the larger buildings and significantly longer runways that would be necessary in the coming age of jet travel. But in the early & mid-1950s, most continued to utilize formats similar to those of the muni airports, finding them adequate for the air traffic of that era.

That ticket cost my Mom $895.00! I worked as a busboy on weekends to chip in and had only $200.00 to spend for the whole summer, so I had be careful with my money and yet I felt privileged and rich to be there and appreciated every moment knowing most American kids would not experience what I did back then.
