#PANAM
"Although Pan American World Airways experienced unprecedented success in the 1960s and 70s, by the end of the 1980s the company was struggling. As Pan American was not licensed to operate domestic routes within in the United States, the company purchased National Airlines in 1980. This would not prove be as good a financial takeover as the company anticipated. With skyrocketing oil prices, the once profitable routes National operated became unprofitable under Pan Am. The airline was forced to file for bankruptcy in early 1991 and flew its last flight on December 4, 1991."

Just got word that #PanAm is a few steps closer to re-launching as an actual airline.
"Introduced on Valentine’s Day 1975, Pan American World Airways' new mix-and-match uniform was designed by multiple Academy Award-winning costumer Edith Head (1897–1981). This versatile uniform in polyester consists of a long-line cardigan-style jacket. Worn until 1980, it offered a slacks option, as well as a tunic with long sleeve blouse. Head incorporated Pan Am’s Universe Design motif seen on the belt buckle, scarf, and in the top-stitching on the felt slouch hat designed by Frank Olive (1929–1995).

#OnThisDay in 1968, the first 747 rolled out of Boeing's Everett plant. To build the 747, the largest commercial airliner at the time, Boeing had to construct a new assembly plant. Completed in 1968, a group of Boeing employees nicknamed "The Incredibles" built the first 747-100 at the same time that the building was also being constructed. Have you ever been to the Boeing assembly building in Everett, Washington?
"A well-known and multi-talented Hollywood figure, Beverly Hills designer Don Loper (1906–1972) added airline stewardesses to the long list of stars wearing Don Loper originals. This circa 1959 Pan American wool suit in Tunis Blue created a fresh look with sharp, angular features exclaiming the aerodynamic mood of the exciting new jet age. The fitted jacket’s hourglass shape was emphasized by the slant of the triangular faux pocket flap, swept-back cuff, and partial peaked collar boldly traced by the blouse. A matching pencil skirt with a deep kick pleat completed the silhouette, while the hat’s forward fin and white piping punctuated the statement. Do you remember this uniform?
