It is hard to imagine a world where a trail blazer like Pan Am isn't still flying. I wouldn't care to see them come back in a limited way just to have their name on a few planes though.
Many think the golden age of aviation died on 9/11. I think the golden age died during the time when global giants like Pan Am, and TWA, lost their luster.
