All of us lost PAN AM very much.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue November 29, 2011:
What a high quality scan this is!. Its also an excellent photograph generally, and that particular aircraft "Clipper Young America" makes it even more special.

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 29, 2011:
Anyone else notice the 50 year sticker above the main door?

A visitor from United States posted Wed October 12, 2011:
The airline that revolutionized air travel like no other! Miss you Pan Am, hope you'll make a comeback one day.

A visitor from France posted Wed October 12, 2011:
Superb nostalgic shot!!

A visitor from - posted Mon August 29, 2011:
LOT of differences between the SPs and other 74s. Flap track fairings and many more that the eye doesn't see. I wonder if this was the aircraft that United set a round the world speed record with in '89 or '90 I believe. I think they were surpassed during the same week by a Gulfstream G-IV. The 747 beats the Concorde around the world.

A visitor from United States posted Sat August 6, 2011:
Brings back memories of flights from JFK to Jo'burg via Ilha da Sal. These planes look so powerful, even today.

A visitor from Sweden posted Fri May 13, 2011:
Beautiful picture, love Pan Am!

A visitor from - posted Fri February 4, 2011:
Boeing should do this with their 747-8

A visitor from United States posted Wed December 22, 2010:
They should had make the Airforce 1 out of this baby, then it would be truly one of a kind. 747-400 boring.

A visitor from Chile posted Tue November 9, 2010:
As with the whole 747-Program it wouldn't be for the 747SP without Pan Am due to the fact that it was developed upon a request by Pan Am (later also supported by Iran Air).
Great shot by the way!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue November 9, 2010:
Had never known that PANAM had sp.

A visitor from United States posted Wed May 26, 2010:
This picture is beautiful and sad. Somehow, losing Pan Am makes the airline industry seem less whole. I compare it to the US after President Kennedy was lost. The industry was better with her than without her.
A loyal AAer

A 747 on steroids!

A visitor from - posted Wed May 26, 2010:
Great!!

A visitor from Singapore posted Wed May 26, 2010:
Woo-hoo, soooo retro this Pan Am livery and a 747-SP to boot!

A visitor from United States posted Fri May 21, 2010:
Great Image--I flew on several of these on trips from JFK to Dharan, Saudi Arabia in the early 80's! Really just a flying fuel tank with passengers.

A visitor from United States posted Thu April 22, 2010:
