: Would anyone know what Pan Am did with their
: old airplanes? We are uphere outside New
: York City and we are looking to see if we
: can at least find and buy sections of these
: planes. We are looking to see if we can get
: a plane and convert it into a museum to keep
: the memory of the great airline alive. This
: would be so awesome to complete. We need
: your help. Can someone offer advise and
: assistance on this and how to go about doing
: it? We have the space here. Our place is
: surrounded by large farms so we have the
: space for a plane here close to our home or
: at least a section of a plane from Pan Am
: which would be forever cherished here by my
: family because we love Pan Am. It occupies a
: special place in our hearts. Can someone
: tell us where to look or who to talk to?
: Would this be possible to do? I mean who
: knows, may be once we get a plane here we
: could even make a real movie with all the
: people who worked for Pan Am and get them
: together in one place, but I would really
: like to start with a plane. Any information
: or ideas would be appreciated. My family and
: I were not employees of Pan Am, just
: regular, loyal and thankful customers who
: love Pan Am and its people.

: Pan Am was a huge part of my life and my
: family’s. My mother always flew on on Pan
: Am. When I was small I travelled from South
: America with my grandmom who is now 101
: years old ( born on Christmas eve ) on Pan
: Am into JFK Airport in New York to re-unite
: with my mother after several years of not
: seeing each other.I was only 13 or 14 years
: old. When I was in college in the 1980's I
: flew on Pan Am also to visit friends and
: other family relatives. Pan Am reunited my
: family and it was an iconic airline. My
: mother cried when they stopped flying for
: the last time in 1991. We felt as if we had
: lost part of our family because the crew was
: always so professional and kind to us. The
: meals were great and the service was just
: awesome. I still visit World Port at JFK in
: New York to relive the great momemts in my
: life. I feel the US Government turned its
: back on the most important airline, Pan Am,
: and they let it go. They did not support it
: the way they supported the three car makers
: here in the US. Pan Am even helped transport
: troops on their planes. It was terrible how
: they got treated. In the words of a Pan Am
: employee that I will not forget while
: standing and watching the last Pan Am plane
: taking off at an airport with other Pan Am
: employees he said with tears ” This is
: almost like a break-up after being married
: for many many years. We were together like a
: family and now we have to let go all of a
: sudden “. I wish Pan Am came back. We miss
: Pan Am.
: Thanks.
