Video: The Mesmerizing Beauty Of The Boeing 747

 This mesmerizing mid-80's video of a 747 in Pan Am paint is 9 minutes and 20 seconds long, and if you're too busy to to take the time and experience it right now, then may I say... you're too busy. What an awesome experience.

 I originally went looking for a video to show some of Clay Lacy's fab air-to-air film work from the Learjet that he pioneered way back in the day. I really didn't expect to find a video that made me long for the old days so bad that it makes me ache. It also made my eyes water a bit, and made me feel fantastic too - all at the same time. Wow, do I ever miss the old days! (I guess you had to be there)

 So, if you'd like to feel the draw of days gone by, or you just need some gorgeous aviation imagery to help make the stress of the day go away, then please, take the time, make the time to watch this video : )

You made me teary eyed.....I flew as a flight attendant for Pan American......some of the best people in the world and a job made in heaven.

Man, thanks for that, it really hit the spot! I have like an irrational appreciation for the 747's shape, the whole experience.
Not only the aircraft actually - the Pan Am name for some reason has a romantic resonance.

Great-looking blog!
