Shame about the apparent technical errors. The episode showing JFK's visit to Berlin showed a LH B707/720 tail in a view from the Terminal Building, don't think that LH were permitted to operate into Tempelhof?

Also apparently showing a 7 hour something flight from Berlin to NYC. A bit optimistic elapsed time, beyond the range of an early model 707, quite apart from the short runway at Templehof!

And a note from personal experience of Pan Am Stewardesses, or "Beanies" as they were known, they always had to share a room with each other, which really p***ed them off as the cockpit crew got a room each. However it did have its rewards for a young single ATCO, one of only two batchelors on the airport and two 707 crews to keep them company during the balmy African nights.
