August 23, 201015 yr Awesome! I've waited for 14 years for this! Dave "It goes without saying that when survival is threatened, struggles erupt between peoples, and unfortunate wars between nations result." -HIDEKI TOJO
August 23, 201015 yr Great to hear. I hope they grow to be as big as they were before. FS2020 Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR
August 23, 201015 yr Wow, looks pretty legitimate. Brownsville is an interesting initial hub choice, though... :(
August 24, 201015 yr Let's no get too excited about this. It twould be the 5th time the brand has been revived since the original Pan Am went bust.1 - a low cost budget airline between 1996 and 1998 2 - a small airline based in Maine between 1998 and 20043 - an affiliate of 2 between 2004 and 20084 - in 1998 a railway company bought the rights to use Pan Am's branding. From 2006 Pan Am's logo, colours etc have be applied to railway vehicles.there's also Pan Am World Airways Dominicana based in the Dominican Republic.This latest incarnation hopes to start services in 2011 but doesn't give a postal address or even an e-mail address. Googling "Pan American Airways, Inc" returns no hits. Gerry Howard
August 25, 201015 yr Interesting to hear Pan American's name being used again. :( I found one return that might be worth mentioning though. :A little off topic but a good quick read.http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2010/100811lefty.htmlA pilots story flying a Boeing 314 from KFSO to PHNL in 1944.Still Flying at 93. :(
August 25, 201015 yr That looks like an interesting virtual airline. But they should probably post this in the VA sections.......wait......That's the website for a legitimate airline? Ouch.From the Photoshopped stock photo of the woman handing over the boarding pass, to the God-knows-what flightsim graphic for the airplane, I hope they can spin up a bigger budget for marketing. You NEVER want to see any business fail, but some always seem to be failed before they start. Here's to hoping my gut is wrong about this one.
August 25, 201015 yr It is seeking donations (via a Donation Button!) to restore a former PanAm building at Brownsville and wants to know what hotels people stayed when flying with PanAm is the past because "We just might renovate them as well". All that when it's trying to start up an airline by next year.To coin a phrase - it cannot be serious! Gerry Howard
August 29, 201015 yr These little airlines pop up all the time. Most recently Skybus. Yuck. look what happened to them. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
