: Hi Ken-I can't remember much more except it
: was in the fall of 1977. A businessman from
: Guam and I were the only people from the
: Pacific to be invited on the flight. Others
: were travel agents, writers, etc. from the
: States. I flew to San Francisco to get visas
: for Brazil and South Africa, then to New
: York, then to Rio. We stayed in Rio a few
: days, then flew the first flight (so I
: thought) between Rio and Johannesburg. We
: spent one night in J-burg, then flew to Cape
: Town and back to Rio. Pan Am invited me
: because I was a reporter and feature writer
: on Guam. Wish I could tell you more except I
: enjoyed the entire trip!

: I was privileged to be on Pan Am's inaugural
: flight from Rio de Janeiro to
: Johannesburg,South Africa, in 1977. I
: recently visited Rio and am writing a story
: about my two visits there. Can anyone tell
: me the type of aircraft on that flight? I
: would appreciate any facts about that trip
: and interesting details. I'll never forget
: that fabulous trip from Guam to South Africa
: and return on First Class Pan Am. Thanks,
