Janet---I'm happy to say that I spent some busy hours engineering on board that favorite 747 of yours, 749---Three trips are here--
2/28/77 811 PPG/SYD Norm Christinsen/Hal Cleaver
4/21/78 812 AKL/HNL J.Nelson/G.Morris
4/27/79 516 LAX/SFO G.Benedict/D.McAulie
I wasn't around in '82 but I flew 748 many many times. Sorry to hear that it got dinged. Also sorry to hear that your dad has passed on--I worshiped each and every person who contributed to our extremely safe operation--Had a special place in my heart for Pratt and Whitney tho---Yes--This is a fun site--Have a good one--KB

: Hi Mark and Willie and Ken I have being
: scrolling down this great web site and found
: alot of info on the PAN AM jets PAN AM had.
: My favorite plane of PAN AM was this
: Almighty 747 N749PA CLIPPER DASHING WAVE
: "WOW" she sure was a magnificent
: jumbo jet. I have many photo's of her and a
: picture of her being assembled on the Boeng
: production line. My father who has now
: passed on worked many years ago on the
: Boeing 747-100 jets in the interior
: department. I flew Clipper Dashing Wave many
: times within America and over the atlantic.
: I don't know what became of her today. I am
: wanting to know did she perish after PAN AM
: finished up or did she go onto another
: airliner or carrier. I have many fond
: memories of my trips aboard her. Also was
: Clipper Crest of the wave a sister ship to
: Dashing Wave and can anyone recall any
: incidents with N748PA at LAX with a EASTERN
: 727 JET BACK IN 1982. Please leave your
: comments on the Board for me to read. Thank
: you
