My Dad was with Pan American for many years.  He started as a fine instrument mechanic and rose to a director of flight service.  I remember being in the home of a stewardess' mother viewing very fine china and seeing the new 747 on the tarmac at HNL.  Took all our breaths away.  Those were the days.

There are not many corporations today to instill the same sort of company loyalty or pride as did PAA.
