Awesome! As much as I love trains there's sure a lot to be said for four radial engines! Now, if Pan Am was revived...

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Braniff's name was revived twice, neither succeeded.  Ozark Air Lines was revived as a regional, not sure if it's still flying.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Well first this is a link to the History Page which is interesting to read given we are repeatedly told the airline industry has always been self sufficient.....yeah right.

Anyway, I remember flying them in 1972 on their new Bahamas route.   Lockhead 1011 from Chicago to Miami as I recall and a 727 from Miami to Nassau.

Flew on an Eastern Super Constellation LGA-Bermuda in 1956 just after they took over Colonial.

I long for the old Pan Am -- and NOT just seeing the logo on old Guilford locos!

Now if they could bring the late Cap'n Eddie Rickenbacker back as well...

A hero of mine when I was a kid, and nothing I've read about him since those days has changed my opinion of him.
