Posted by Mark Bermudez (m2eagle2) on 10/26/2007, 2:12 pm, in reply to "Re: Pan Am 727-225, N8856E" Clipper Mary was never purchased by FedEx cargo and not scrapped at Mojave storage facility. This 727-225 was leased by Braniff International and scrapped at Miami International Airport. Pan Am also moved there headquarters to Manhattan, New York City in 1963. After the completion of the infamous Pan Am building. Have a great day, --Previous Message--

Sorry Alfred. Your information is false! I checked with my university and double checked with the University of Miami, where Pan Am records are now stored. The information is correct. This 727-225 was named Clipper Mary.
