Gotta love it; an old promotional film for Pan American's entry into "The Jet Age". Pan Am ushered in jet passenger travel in in this country in September 1958, and was the first U.S. Airline to do so. It should be noted however, that a De Havilland BOAC Comet lV landed in New York about 3 weeks before the first Pan Am 707 departed New York for Paris. Great footage of original "Short tailed" 707s with the original Pratt & Whitney JT3C turbojet engines. The fin height was increased on the 707 starting in 1960, due to an accident of a Braniff 707-227 which prior to delivery to the airline, crashed on an early test flight due to "Dutch roll". After the fin height was increased on all 707 & KC-135 aircraft, the problem was alleviated. This film really captures the glamour of early jet travel from the "Golden age".

I would think that anyone who has flown in the last few years would be totally depressed by this film. It's so awful now.

I flew on a 707 when I was a kid. We went from London to Malta. The 707 was a cattle-truck compared to what they were originally fitted like in the 50's and 60's. Also - in the 50's and 60's, air travel was EXPENSIVE.

Remembering the air travel in that era and knowing what's it's like today. What can I say except that the extra freedom and kindness I almost took for granted is more like a dream memory now.

Those were the days. Plenty of room, good food, bottle of wine. Nicest flight I ever had was Pakistani Airways from Rome to London.
