I may be getting it confused with : the A/C when I flew on for United. I never : liked the Airbuses. I do believe it was the : A310. : : I don't think Pan AM flew the L-1011...but : you'll have to ask a more senior former crew : member to know for sure. : : Thanks for the info :-) : : : : --Previous Message-- : As far as I know, Pan Am never received any : A320's although they were on order, you : might be thinking of the shorter A300, the : A310? : : I've read that Pan Am retired their L-1011 : fleet in 1986. They may have had an airline : paying a lease to them or were still trying : to sell a few by 1991 though. : : Interesting enough, there are several scale : models of Pan Am L-1011's in the last : billboard livery, yet I've never found a : photograph of an actual Pan Am L-1011 in : anything else other than the classic : cheatline. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi. I am not sure what aircraft you speak : of. : When Pan Am shut down, they flew the Boeing : 727, 737, 747 Airbus A300 and A320 (if : memory serves.) I was a JFK based flight : attendant at the time. : I'm afraid you would have to ask a pilot, : perhaps, what was done with the aircraft but : presumably many were sold to Delta and : United, along with the routes these airlines : acquired from Pan Am (United got the LHR : base and routes a little bit before Pan Am : went under.) I always heard about aircraft : being parked in the desert, though not sure : where or which desert. Certainly one in The : U.S. I hope this helps. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi there can anyone tell me what became of : the : PAN AM tri star jetrs after pan am finished : up. Were they stored or re sold to other : airliners and which of these tri jets was : the last flight to London in 1991. Could : some one also list the details of Clipper : Bald Eagle from her borth.
