What's the Brand name of the Engine modifications (sound -deadening) on this 707 ?
Wow, is that early-'60s Pan Am livery? (Not counting the tail.) I sure don't remember it looking like that...
Possibly they're not filming where the tail might be visible, or they just haven't wrapped it yet.

Actually, you don't need a type rating to fly F/O on any big jet under FAA regulations. The captain (PIC) is the only one that needs it. And if you're not getting paid, you can be co-pilot with a PPL as long as you have the right endorsements (high performance, high altitude, complex, turbine).
PIC Time: Part 61.51 or Part 1. What's the difference?

Pan Am changed their livery to this one just in time for the first 707 to arrive in 1958, although quite a lot of the piston fleet then got repainted into it as well. It lasted for about 10 years (so throughout the 1960s), when the change was made from PAN AMERICAN on the fuselage to PAN AM; the remainder stayed the same. The shortened name suited the 747 proportions better; Pan Am seem to have changed their livery for the arrival of each major new type, then repainted the older fleet to suit.
Which Clipper name have they used ?
