Hello,Ken Baker.It must have been strange seeing that cockpit sliced off lying in a field ,with her name clearly readable like that,and then realizing you actually flew her a few times in her better days.I find it very sad,but it really intrigues me at the same time.I was twelve when the newsflashes came on the TV,and I remember hearing that most victims were quite young,some even younger then myself...I had heard of Pan Am before that terrible tragedy,but really became deeply interested in Pan Am as the airline she once was,since about ten years,and particularly the 747-121s.The internet is a great source of information.By the way,I also found some photos,and info on N747PA,through Google Images.There is a story,and photos in there about a mishap she had at SFO,in 1971,and also some pics of the way she looks today,sitting in Korea as a restaurant,all faded and rusty,with your former boss's name on the cockpit.It looks terrible.I also found two photos of Clipper Fortune,N752PA,just hours before she was hijacked in Amsterdam.Maybe this is old news to you Panamairs,but if not,take a peek! Greetings...

: be
:fooled by the way they interprid statements

:being up to in there investigations over this
:horrific incident in 1988 with THE MAID
: N739PA.
:Yes i have being to this site where the MAID
: is
: ;in millions of peices. I have being told
: they
:will reconstruct the airframe if need be
: later
:as evidence against the libian Goverment. It
:stinks with a foul stench of human odours
: still
:It should have being berried years ago as
: it;s
:a grave yard like they many victims who
: perish

: Hello,
:
: A few nights ago,there was a very
: interesting documentary on our dutch
: television about Pan Am 103.A dutch
: journalist went to a memorial of the
: disaster and also got to interview certain
: FBI and CIA officials who dealt with the
: case 20 years ago.I was very intrigued to
: find that they all spoke against each
: other's findings,and the outcome basically
: said that evidence was tampered with,and the
: Libian who is in jail is likely innocent.I
: wonder what this will bring in the
: future,seeing as how the aircraft
: involved,Clipper Maid of the Seas,is still
: being kept in a scrapyard in England,perhaps
: pending further investigation....I'm not a
: conspiracy theorist,but that is very
: strange,20 years on,am I correct??
: Greetings.
