This week we will talk about Carl Icahn and how he finished breaking the back of TWA. There were times after Icahn that there was a glimmer of hope for the airline’s survival, but things never quite worked out for the “Flyers Airline.” 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.
This week we will talk about the Lockheed Constellation. I don’t consider the Connie as one of the big three that made aviation great, but it certainly changed the fortunes of TWA and others. 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.
This week we will talk about Howard Hughes the man, the aviator, and the eccentric. The movie we, we have all is seen, is perhaps a little over the top but that is an opinion which you need to qualify for yourself. 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.
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.
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.
We continue with the series on Pan Am and this week we want to talk about the Florida operations in Key West and then Dinner Key in Miami’s Biscayne Bay. 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. Come with me now as two-dimensional thinking meets one-dimensional thinking
This month I am going to delve into the history of Pan Am and the visionary who brought it to life. The articles will be brief but concise, because there have been many good books written on the man and the airline and I invite you to search out and read those books. As always, I would like all aviators to connect with their roots. 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.
This week I will finish the series on “The Future of Commercial Aviation” and while it would be easy to offer up an analysis and pick winners and losers, I think I will let the words of others speak for me. I have a few quotes to share with you that will provide fuel for thought. 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. Come with me now as two dimensional thinking meets one dimensional thinking.
This week I will continue the series on “The Future of Commercial Aviation” and I will be talking about a unique issue---Balance of Power---aviators and management think the same, so how do you maintain a balance that does not adversely affect service? 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. Come with me now as two dimensional thinking meets one dimensional thinking.
