Ya, sorry about that. This VHS tape is about 40 years old.

Cabin class was comfortable and spacious in those days. Seats were solid and cushioned, probably at least twice as thick as they are these days.

Thank you! I love these aircraft tours!

I can’t express the love I have for these aircraft familiarization videos. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks sooo much for sharing all these pan am videos..I subbed a few days ago when your PA 747-100 vid was recommended to me! Great stuff! I have to say I laughed every time the FA pulled down the “movie screens” and they squeaked lol..need some WD-40 on them rollers lol! Please keep the great vids coming if ya have more of these gems up your sleeve! Thanks again..

In some of the other videos they show the "video system" and it's a giant contraption with literal film reels.

I can’t deny - I had that exact same haircut in 1984

wow another incredible find :)

Is Celeste still around? I’d love to hear her thoughts / memories on these videos.

Fun fact, clipper New York is still active with a cargo airline. So you can technically say this bird still has pan am heritage if you notice the windows they covered that were once passenger windows

I really hope there are more of these videos...they are just soooo classic and informative! I wonder if Pan Am operated the 757s back in the days...were there such videos made? Keep it up. Sending all my ❤ from Malaysia 🇲🇾

Curious about Celeste's career. . she was so polished and professional in these training vids. Where did she go after PA?

@hunterklowss

2 жыл бұрын

I believe she went to Delta when PAA suspended operations after working for 12 years. She then left in 1997, but I may have the wrong Celeste

They had accessible toilets, yay!

So I assume this was a newly delivered aircraft, yet Celeste mentioned they would be modifying future aircraft with remove of the first class bulkhead and G2 galley - What's the story here? Pan Am changed their mind after the first deliveries? Interesting.

The first A300s for Pan Am were originally destined for (if I remember correctly) Libyan Arab Airlines that were NTU (not taken up) due to an economic embargo on the government of Libya. This was a good move to take delivery of airplanes that had been stored for some time. I was told that it was beneficial to both Airbus and to Pan Am. The galleys, seat sets and other equipment were not Pan Am standards. We referred to these aircraft as the “atlas” equipped aircraft. These were, in fact brand new. Some elements that were not standard stand out in the video, such as the brown seat back tray tables in cabin class, and the brown slide bustles at each door. Eventually, the galleys, tray tables and slide bustle covers were replaced, however, we kept the salmon (pink-ish) and light blue seat covers for several years. It was in the last years that we standardized the seat covers to the navy blue fabric.

Was the A300 used for domestic and S America? I don't think the early ones had trans-Atlantic range.

Domestic, Caribbean, short-haul Latin America. They didn't have the range for transatlantic.

@Colaholiker

2 жыл бұрын

ETOPS was not a thing yet, so transatlantic services were only possible with 3 or 4 engines. The 310 was the first Airbus that got transatlantic service certification.

What about a crew rest area?

@Colaholiker

2 жыл бұрын

The 300 was not a longhaul plane, despite being wide body. The typical flights didn't require the fitting of crew rests. The maximum range was comparable to an A320 nowadays, and they don't have crew rests either- ;-)

Is the engine noise really necessary in a training video?

@Colaholiker

2 жыл бұрын

That's not engine noise. That is a combination of ventilation (which you want to have running because you can't simply open a window) and the 400 Hz hum of the electrical system, which was very common on older aircraft types. The main engines were certainly not running, and most likely not even the APU (ground power and AC connected). I absolutely love that background noise, brings back so many memories...
