I thought the documentary was quite good; it brought back for me memories of September 6th 1970; when my mother, brother, sister and I boarded a Pan Am 747 for our flight from Heathrow to New York; joining my father who was working out there at the time.
I shall never forget (as a six year old) seeing that giant brand new Boeing 747 parked outside the terminal with its APU running and its huge tail and the Pan Am globe on it. It made a great impression on me; how privileged we all felt travelling in this new airliner; we even dressed up for the occasion with my mother and sister in posh frocks and my brother and I in suits; we were only travelling economy!
An amazing flight; seeing those glamorous Pan Am Stewardesses and eating lunch at 40,000 feet over the Atlantic. Even today if I am at an airport and I smell Jet A1; my mind goes immediately back to that Pan Am flight!
