: Hello,Panamairs.I have really started to make
: a hobby out of digging deep into the net's
: sources of information on your airline which
: unfortunatly vanished many years ago.Well,in
: doing so, I came across two photo's and a
: short article of the 1969 Paris Airshow at
: Le Bourget in France.The photos show a
: Boeing 747 displayed alongside the new
: Concorde.Her registration reads N731PA,and
: she already wears her cheatline,but no
: Clipper name,or PAA-logos'.Instead she wears
: Boeing titles.The article,however,is cut
: short because it ends mid-sentence.Those of
: you who would like to see her from the days
: before she was even named "Clipper
: Bostonian",Here's the adress:
