Today we remember the 259 victims of a senseless act of terror in the skies over Lockerbie along with the 11 victims on the ground. We also remember all those who have lost their lives due to terrorism around the world. #RememberingPanAm103

A true pioneer in aviation and founder of Pan American World Airways, Juan Terry Trippe was born on this day, June 27, 1899 in Sea Bright, New Jersey. When he retired, Pan Am served 85 nations on six continents and he was the nation’s most decorated citizen. #JuanTrippe #PanAm

Celebrating 60 years since the #PanAmBuilding opened in March 1963, unmistakable as a marker of 20th-century American success. In one monumental statement it suggests Pan Am's abiding legacy and the potential for a bright future for #Pan Am that was yet to be written. PAHF photo.

Boeing’s Bill Allen - “If you’ll buy it, I’ll build it.’ To which Pan Am’s Juan Trippe replied “If you build it, I’ll buy it”. The rest is history. The Boeing 747 was born. #747farewell

It was truly an incredible aircraft. And Pan Am was the reason it was built.
