I’m sure others will know much more about this, but as I recall the name and logo’s associated with Pan Am were purchased by a businessman in the “fire sale” following Pan Am’s demise.
He apparently (memory not too good) wanted to recreate the airline Pan Am, starting from scratch, more or less.
I really can’t recall any more than this. I read it in an aviation mag about ten years ago I think ?
Anyone else remember what happened ?:confused:
Just under a month to go, any more takers… ?
Well done Dude !:D
I’m getting the feeling an aviation photography Q+A session would go down well on here ? There’s lot’s of budding snappers on here now and we don’t mind the strict “experts only ” approach of the big sites like A.net and the like.
I enjoy taking plane pics, but I kind of get fed up with the notion that you have to be a “great photographer with great gear'” attitude the main sites take, no offence to the guys on here that produce those wonderful shots we all appreciate. I also enjoy seeing plane pics, taken by real plane admirers, no matter what the style, weather, light, framing, quality etc.
Every picture tells a story, as long as there’s a discernible aircraft in the frame then let’s see ’em ! I particularly enjoy the pictures on here that attach to a story or report about the flight(s) they relate to.
Let’s see more of them folks. Comments please ?
🙂
Great pic, I notice tail planes always seem to be the first things painted up with Airbus and Boeing too. Are they manufactured, third party and therefore delivered already painted ?
I can’t remember my 18th either and it was in 1988, mind you I too was a bit w*nkered as well !
Enjoy it T5 !:D
The 747 pic is ace, let’s see more of your stuff my friend ! 🙂
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE ON BOARD THE PLANE…” wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
There’s a story ongoing about the Heathrow Trident. Basically the Trident Preservation Society have had their airside passes stopped by the Health and Safety authorities denying them access to the plane they helped to restore, BA are also discussing the removal (scrapping) of the plane to free up some parking space.

Have a look on the guestbook for more info

All those cars around the BA jet give the impression they are blocking it in – didn’t BA pay the leasing company!
That 747 was operating the 1730 service to Heathrow, some of my work colleagues were catching it, whilst I was catching the Aer Lingus to Glasgow via Dublin.

Those little movie clip cams are really handy. I caught an RAF Tornado going at full tilt last Wednesday in Glencoe with one ! 😀
Nice work, I like the video mpegs. Did you do them on a digital still camera with movie clip facility ?
What do the differently lettered check types entail ? C check, D check etc.
As far as I know they do ad-hoc charters and airlines hire them for tech cover too.
