N84NA (cn 47837/328) "Clipper Glory of the Skies". Condensation fills all three engine inlets at liftoff from runway 12. No.1 engine is reflected in the lower fuselage portion and the captain is visible in the early morning sunlight.

Very nice action shot!

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 14, 2011:
My favorite part is how you can see the captain's head compared to the size of the DC-10. It really shows you how big these machines are!!

A visitor from United States posted Sun July 3, 2011:
I love everything about this shot... the DC-10, Pan Am, the condensation in the engines, and the reflection of the wing on the metal of the plane.... LOVE IT. DECronk

Never seen DC-10 look so great, my favourite plane, great shot.

A visitor from United States posted Sun September 26, 2010:
Beautiful angle. I love the condensation in the engines and the fact that you can see the captain in the cockpit. That, and it's a former National DC-10.

A classy airliner and the most classic airline of all... Extremely beautiful picture!

What I love about this shot -apart from the subject and the airline- is how the white nose cone matches the condensation in the intakes.
Although I flew Pan Am plenty of times, never in a DC-10.

Classic Pic. Ah the memories

A visitor from Venezuela posted Mon March 10, 2008:
This is a reminder of two classics: the airline (Pan Am) and the jetliner (DC-10). It looks even better with condensation filling all three engines.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat November 10, 2007:

A unique shot which captures the local enviroment that the carrier operated the model in. Also given the shot was taken in Jan '84 it's a reminder of photography before the internet which adds value to this site

Absolutely wonderful shot of a classic bird!

Sweet!!! Perfect Mix: Three Holer and The Magestic Pan Am...Sad to see both of them gone

A visitor from United States posted Fri May 19, 2006:
Powerful shot of this memorable distinguished bird.it's also the last plane my dad ever flew for Pan-Am before his retirement.Those were the days when air travel with this airline was a "real trip".

A visitor from United States posted Mon April 17, 2006:

Lovely! I really like older high quality pics like this one. The pilot and the condensation make this pic something extra.
