You guys did a wonderful job. Literally brought tears to my eyes. And what a great tribute, both to your parents, and to Pan Am. It was very classy the way you included Delta and the buddy passes, not many would have said what you did without some resentment. I did work for Delta here in Vancouver, and during the time Delta took over some of the Pan Am routes. Some of my colleagues from here in Vancouver were temporarily assigned to JFK for the transition. Even though I was with Delta, I felt that it was a very sad time. And I still feel sad when I see all the videos of Pan Am. Nevertheless, we do have to move on. And you guys get it You have brought back the golden age of flight in your video. There was nothing to compare to air travel back in those days. Cheers, Carl

Thank you for the respect you've shown to your mother and our era. Besides glamorous, it was also a lot hard work, long hours and we paved the way to not only eliminate smoking aboard aircraft but set the guidelines on how to handling a hijacking and every other crazy event at 40, 000 ft above the earth. Unfortunately both of the best Airlines Western and Pan Am were gone by 1991 swallowed up -victims of deregulation and too much upper level management spending. Our airline never even boarded us meals to eat as it was not in our contract. The Airline figured Stewardesses were super human and didnt need food- it might mess up our make up. I loved every minute of my profession as lonely as it was. God BlessWestern Airlines Stewardess 20 yearsOf service -1970

I remember when I was 8yrs old we were flying on a Pan Am Boeing 707 back in 1972 leaving from Clark AFB to Hawaii, my mother dressed me and my 2 brothers in a suit and my father was in his AF uniform, my mother was dressed real nice too, every Pan Am passengers were dressed well that was class back then from when I remembered, we were in economy class but we still got good service with real dish wear like silver wear, the stewardess were dressed in blue with white blouse underneath and in 1980 I flew on Pan. Am again only it was a Boeing 747 Clipper class flying from San Francisco to Hawaii round trip, I enjoyed every moment flying with Pan Am and I even still have the Pan Am bag, thanks Pan Am for all the great service it was worth it.

I was a Pan Am Stewardess way back around 1997, stationed in New York after beinghired in Oslo Norway. It was a dream job back then, people would dress up for the trip. and everything waselegant. The service and meals were so much more special, it was always a feeling of comfort and elegance on board a Pan Am Flight. I was so lucky to have had flights to Asia. Africa, India and a lot of Europe and theCaribbean during my time with Pan Am. And I was also so lucky to meet a pilot on oneof my first flight, we married and he kept flying for more than 30 years while I was home taking care of our 3 daughters after thatWe all thought that an Am would be there forever, I still wish that could have been possibleSuch happy memoriesAnnie McKeown

Air traffic control and the pioneers of Air Travel? Now we know who started the cover-up. The fact is that we live in the PLANE, an expanse which is an uninterrupted space, we live in an immense territory, a BELT. The controller world leaders lie to the PEOPLE with artificial and counterfeit observations. The leaders strike below the belt and NOT in accord with the principals of fairness, decency, or good sportsmanship. Air travel and its fabricated route system are a sham and false. The Earth is pretty smooth and labeled, a supporting band, like a belt around your hips.

I just thought about the flight I took from Frankfurt to DC recently and the rudeness of the United Crew Terrible service, horrible meal that I won't even have my Dog eat Where do they find these unhappy people who hate their jobs Flying use to be FUN, not anymore. Long lines at the Luggage check out, terrible customs attitude and TSA treatment. He asked me if I touched a live stock during my stay, I said no there were no COWS on the streets Traveling became a terrible experience over all

Guys, stop saying that the glory days of air travel have passed. The glory days are very much today when you and I and many other people can afford to travel the world and experience it while people before us could only have dreamed of doing so. Fancy meals and impeccable service -- you can still get them today. It's called whatever non-economy is called on any airline. But most people can't afford that, pretty much like most people couldn't afford Pan Am in its day.

So funny I was just at the passport agency not long ago and a lady asked me if my Panam bag is authentic (I'm not sure, I just got it from a consignment store earlier this week) and she told me how there's a place in LA that is like a restaurant in a Panam replica airplane. and here I am watching you post like 2hrs after hearing about the place. It's like a sign. Perhaps to tell me if I travel more I'll meet someone, or just to go try that restaurant. Idk haha

WOW, this is the best YouTube video that I have ever seen. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane with your parents, your mom is super cool. At one point in the video, I had a huge grin sharing your parents love connection in the Swiss Alps. Just a super video for the air travel enthusiasts. My mother stew'd for TWA back in the day (60's) so I could sort of relate. Thanks guys
