Juan Trippe and Pan Am – Part Four – February 26, 2010

We finish with the series on Pan Am this week by talking about the originality of Juan Trippe and his airline. Pan Am had a list of accomplishments that any airline would envy. However, their mismanagement of capital and ultimate demise is not one of them. I would like all aviators to connect with their roots and one of the ways they can do that is by using the “Third Dimension Blog” as a resource. Come with me now as two-dimensional thinking meets one-dimensional thinking.

Juan Trippe and Pan Am – Part Three – February 19, 2010

This week I want to talk about the Florida operations for Pan Am at Miami International Airport. Miami International was originally called Pan American Field, and although they operated Dinner Key as their base of operations after Key West, the Clippers were over taken by technology and faster airplanes. Pan Am shifted operations back to land based airplanes at Miami International. As always, I would like all aviators to connect with their roots and one of the ways they can do that is by using the “Third Dimension Blog” as a resource.
