Re: AA, UA, DL TATL Service History

Around that time and into the mid-1990s DL also operated from FRA to several East European capitals, part of the old PA network at FRA, along with IST. Toward the end of the FRA hub days for DL, there was also service to India, I think. yes: ATH, OTP, BUD, IST, SVO, PRG, LED, VIE, and WAW all with ...

Re: AA, UA, DL TATL Service History

DELTA -I seem to recall Delta had service from DFW as well, to LGW and from ATL to LGW and FRA as far back as the early 1980s, but the order of service starts, I do not know.! DL flew DFW-FRA from the early 80's until 1997 but not DFW-LGW IIRC From Delta's June 1, 1984 timetable DFW-FRA was schedul...

Re: Question about Pan Am's A310-200s

I've always wondered about - the ship numbers that Delta assigned to the A-310's
The A310-200's: N801PA thru N807PA became ships 001-007
The A310-300's :N811PA thru N824PA became ships 021-034

So Delta skipped the range 011-020 ... I never understood why.

Re: Question about Pan Am's A310-200s

I think both the -200s and -300s flew TATL ultimately. You're right that JFK-HAM, BRU, OSL (FBU) saw them, and the A310 also operated DTW-LHR, JFK-ZRH, and JFK-MXP (and FCO at times). There were I think 15 A313s and 16 A312s if I remember correctly. Not sure about the cabin interiors being configur...

Re: AA early 747 question

In 1971 I flew from LAX to WAS (don't remember the airport) in an AA 747. There was a lounge at the rear of the cabin. I took a photo of it which (hopefully) can be viewed here [photoid]http://www.stubchaer.com/AA_B747_1971.jpg[/photoid]. I just joined Airliners and this is my first post, so I'm a ...

Re: TWA Transatlantic Drawdown Time Line

CO did this in the early 90s as well, publishing hundreds of international city pairs as "direct" service (usually under a 4XXX flight number) that was actually a connecting itinerary on two separate flight numbers. The logic was that direct flights (even with aircraft change) display hig...

Re: Why did Pan Am disappear?

I recall flying on Pan Am from JFK to MCO (and back) on a 727 during the 1980’s. Was that a former National route? Also I remember in 1983, while on holiday with my Auntie in the US, we saw a Pan Am 727 @ New Orleans, would that have been one of the routes they got from national? Pan Am did not fly...

Re: Why did Pan Am disappear?

Anyone have a link to 1980s timetables for Pan Am? Departed flights seems to have only the post-2000 reincarnation of Pan Am. I'd love to get refamiliarized with their TATL schedule from JFK from the 1986-1989 period. Departed Flights shows both the original Pan Am and Pan Am II 1985 timetable http...

Re: Braniff Bankruptcy 1983

Re: Braniff Bankruptcy 1983

In watching the documentary, I kept wondering why they didn't declare Chapter 11 earlier, with the intent to reduce costs and reorganize In 1982 this was uncharted territory .... No major airline had ever done that .... Continental was the first to do so in 1983 I'm also curious, what happened to B...
