Come Fly with Me (The Story of Pan Am)

Interesting documentary about Pan Am on BBC2 this evening, relating how it played a key role in bringing jets into commercial airlines and the start of what became affordable air travel.

There was more emphasis on cabin than cockpit but it was interesting to hear former air stewardesses recalling their time with Pan Am with great affection and obvious loyalty to the company.
Perhaps the golden age of air travel?

Hard to believe it's almost exactly 20 years since the last flight of what had been one of the most successful airlines in the world.

The programme will be repeated next Wednesday, 16th November.
Not fantastic, but worth watching IMHO.
