The Pan Am Museum Foundation Exhibit

An Aviation Pioneer Returns to Long Island!

Pioneering Pan American World Airways folded its proud wings in 1991, but the legend will live on, thanks to a dedicated group of former employees who, in just one year, formed the Pan Am Museum Foundation. Their efforts raised over $150,000 to launch the first of four exhibits about the legendary airline.

The Boeing 314: An Extraordinary Story

Showcasing the legendary B-314 Flying Boats, these fabled seaplanes pioneered trans-oceanic flying. The Clippers, as all Pan Am aircraft were called, took off from the Pan Am Hangar located on Manhasset Bay in Port Washington, Long Island, first to Bermuda and later to England, Portugal and France via the Azores.

Only 12 of these extraordinary flying boats were built and nine were operated by Pan American.  With a payload of 21 tons, including 74 passengers and a maximum range of 5,200 statute miles, the Boeing 314 was a versatile and profitable aircraft.  With America's entrance into World War II, the Boeing 314 fleet was turned over to military service as it was the only long distance aircraft available for moving large quantities of men and material.  

In the coming years, the Boeing 314 exhibit will be joined by three additional and historically significant Boeing aircraft, the Stratocruiser, the B-707 and the B-747.    

“We’re  thrilled to welcome the new Pan Am exhibit to the Cradle. As a pioneer in commercial aviation, Pan Am introduced a variety of aviation innovations that we can use to support our STEM education programs. We’re happy to welcome the thousands of Pan Am loyalists who have worked hard to keep the Pan Am legacy alive.” Said Andrew Parton, Executive Director of the Cradle of Aviation Museum.

This singular new project was spearheaded by a group of dedicated Pan Am employees, working tirelessly to create and finance the exhibit. In just a year, the founders of this unprecedented project raised funds to put together the first phase and to find an ideal place for it at the Cradle of Aviation Museum.

“We are thrilled by the response we received from Pan Am employees and friends who want to honor our company and its many contributions, not just to aviation, but to global travel and commerce,” says Linda Freire, Co-Chair of the Board of the Pan Am Museum Foundation. Ms. Freire, is a former flight attendant and manager who now resides in Cold Spring Harbor. She also notes that eighty people have contributed $1000 or more to become Founding Members of the Pan Am Museum. 

About the Pan Am Museum Foundation The Pan Am Museum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity, registered in the State of New York. The sole mission of the Pan Am Museum Foundation is to develop a Pan Am Museum, furthering the legacy of Pan American World Airways and its importance in aviation history. The Foundation seeks to reunite all former employees and affiliates of Pan American World Airways and those interested in aviation, as well as to serve future generations by promoting an appreciation of all aspects of the aviation industry. Students, teachers, researchers and the community-at-large will find enrichment through the Museum’s educational programs. The Pan Am Museum will preserve and exhibit Pan Am artifacts commemorating the company's history, contributions to aviation, and the extraordinary people of Pan Am.

Three Decades After Closing Pan Am Lives On at the Pan Am Museum

December 4, 2021, Commemorates 30 Years Since the Iconic Airline Ceased Operations

November 16, 2021, GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK - After more than 64 years in business, the world’s most iconic airline, Pan American World Airways (also known around the world as Pan Am), ceased operations on December 4, 1991. A perfect storm of terrorism, rising fuel costs, and an economic downturn resulted in the closure of the “World's Most Experienced Airline.” However, thirty years later, the airline lives on at the Pan Am Museum in Garden City, New York (Long Island). The museum reveals below 30 achievements that define Pan Am.

On December 5, 2021, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., the Pan Am Museum Foundation will host a public event to celebrate the unrivaled legacy that they all helped to build by unveiling its newest exhibit: "The Pan Am Saga - from its beginnings in 1927 to Its Slow Demise and Eventual Fall in 1991." Cost per person is $30. Click here to purchase tickets . The museum Is located at One Davis Avenue, Garden City, NY, 11530. Parking for the event is complimentary.

Founded in 2015, the Pan Am Museum Foundation is the only institution with a permanent and physical location solely dedicated to Pan American World Airways. With a mission to “educate and inspire future generations by preserving the diverse and historical institutional and personal stories of Pan American World Airways,” the Museum explores the rich history and culture of the airline, and its people. Through permanent installments, digital content such as social media and podcasts, and through partnerships with other institutions the Pan Am Museum Foundation brings the under celebrated history of the airline to life through educational storytelling and programming.

About Pan American World Airways: Thirty years ago, on December 4, 1991, Pan American World Airways ceased operations. Founded in 1927, the airline flew for over 64 years. With its closing marked the end of an era for commercial aviation. Saturday, December 4, 2021, marks the 30th Anniversary of the shutdown of an airline that pioneered air travel and luxury in the skies, while cementing itself as a fixture in popular culture throughout the world. As the airline of choice for the Beatles, James Bond, Indiana Jones; to Hollywood stars, corporate executives, and politicians; to tourists and families, Pan Am remains present in the hearts and minds of millions across the globe. The skies today are absent and solemn without Pan Am's signature caviar, fine wines, delicious food, and exceptional service. Although the airline is no longer with us, the legacy of Pan Am is still alive and well at a Long Island museum bearing its name.

Pan Am Remains Grounded. In Culture, That Is.

On Oct. 26, 1958, the airline made a historic flight from New York to Paris that helped usher in the jet age.

By Laura M. Holson

On Oct. 26, 1958, Pan American World Airways made the first commercial nonstop flight from New York to Paris. A marching band played John Philip Sousa as guests boarded the plane , where 111 passengers supped on cuisine from Maxim’s in Paris. Twenty-five years later, the airline commemorated the voyage by inviting celebrities like Eartha Kitt and the boxing champ Floyd Patterson to Paris in one of the original Boeing 707 jets. Once there, the crew was feted at a party.

Pan Am went out of business in 1991. But for many, it is still synonymous with luxury air travel. And while the 1958 journey was not the first trans-Atlantic flight by an airline, it was perhaps the most significant, according to news reports at the time. Pan Am helped usher in the era of commercial jet travel with daily flights to London and Paris that ultimately made it easy for tourists — not just wealthy patrons — to see the world.

“It was a game changer,” said Gabriella Williams, a librarian at the University of Miami who oversees the digitization of one of the largest collections of Pan Am brochures, magazines, advertising and financial reports. “More people could afford to get on planes. The dawn of the jet age implemented economy class.”

Pan Am’s status as a cultural icon persists nearly three decades after the airline collapsed under crushing debt. There are Pan Am items for sale on eBay , including travel bags, cutlery and captain’s wings. It continues to be memorialized in television, movies and documentaries. The Pan Am Historical Foundation offers travel tours to Morocco, Iran and Egypt.

Ms. Williams said half the visits to the university’s special collections libraries, where the Pan Am catalog is housed, were from people interested in the airline.

“The brand, at one point, was the biggest in the world,” she said.

Pan Am flew its first international flight in October 1927, and went on to become the most recognizable American airline, known for elegant service, dashing pilots and adventurous travel. Earlier that year, Pan Am’s founder, Juan T. Trippe , had merged three airlines to form the company after receiving a contract from the United States Postal Service to deliver mail between Key West, Fla., and Havana. Pan Am delivered 250 pounds of mail to Cuba on its first trip. Within a year, it would establish regular service to the island nation.

Trippe had a flair for marketing and public relations. In 1928, he hired the pilot Charles Lindbergh , who had become world famous a year earlier when he made the first solo nonstop flight between New York and Paris, as a consultant. Lindbergh was to explore new routes in South America, Europe and Africa for the airline. By the early 1930s, Pan Am had expanded service throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.

Pan Am acquired China Airways Federal in 1933, which allowed the airline to expand into China. That year, Trippe, who was born in 1899 in Sea Bright, N.J., the son of an investment banker, was featured on the cover of Time . But air travel was expensive then, mostly for business executives and the well-to-do. Airlines sought to differentiate themselves with first-class service, not with low fares, as airlines do nowadays. Consider this: The 1958 flight to Paris cost economy-class passengers $489.60, or about $4,350 today .

“They competed by who offered the most frills,” Ms. Williams said.

That meant a large part of the population was forced to stay home. Edward S. Trippe, Juan Trippe’s son, recalled his first 14-hour flight to Europe on a DC-6, an airplane made by the Douglas Aircraft Company. “It was all first-class,” said Mr. Trippe, who is the chairman of the Pan Am Historical Foundation. “We slept in bunks we pulled down above our seats. It was a luxury event.”

It was in 1958, though, that his father and airline executives embarked on what would become the golden era of jet travel, fueled, in large part, by new technology that made it possible to fly long stretches without having to refuel. In 1955, Pan Am purchased a number of Boeing 707s, the first commercially successful airliners to be manufactured. Mr. Trippe said his father wanted to open up international markets and lower airfares.

“He wanted a new generation who were able to see where their ancestors were born,” Mr. Trippe said. “Pan Am had an international character. Its whole image was London, Hawaii, Africa, Japan, Rome. The advertising conjured up these images. You could go there.”

Pan Am was later beset by troubles. High fuel prices in the 1970s hobbled the industry. In 1988, a bomb exploded on a trans-Atlantic flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 259 people onboard. The company declared bankruptcy in 1991.

The flight on Oct. 26, 1958, took more than seven hours. It had been scheduled to continue on to Rome after Paris, but was canceled after the Italian government imposed a new surcharge on jet airfares, according to an article in The New York Times. Of the success of the New York-to-Paris flight, The Times said, “A long procession of commercial jet flights is lining up behind it.”

Mr. Trippe was on the 25th-anniversary flight. He said he remembered seeing the actress Maureen O’Hara, who later owned her own seaplane company, aboard the plane. “The jet age propelled us into a new era,” he said. “It shrunk the world.”

Simple Flying

The pan am boeing boeing 707 that brought "beatlemania" to the us.

Beatlemania was running wild during the 1960s. Fans across the globe were obsessed with The Beatles during the British band's record-breaking rise in the music industry. 57 years ago today, the group disembarked a Boeing 707 operating Pan American World Airways Flight 101 to John F. Kennedy International Airport from London. This trip was the band’s first-ever visit to the United States.

A grand tour

Between February 7th and February 22nd, 1964, The Beatles had an incredibly busy run of appearances. They performed at the Washington Coliseum and New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Additionally, they appeared twice on The Ed Sullivan Show, garnering over 70 million viewers.

According to AeroTime Hub , John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr arrived at New York JFK at 13:20 and were welcomed by 4,000 fans and 200 members of the press. The aircraft that made this landmark event possible was a Boeing 707-331 with registration number N704PA. In true Pan Am fashion , the plane was nicknamed Jet Clipper Defiance.

The right transport

The four-engine jet aircraft had a flight crew of four members, including the pilot, co-pilot, navigator, and flight engineer. The 707-331’s wing is notably different from the initial 707-120 series. It was longer and had different flaps and spoilers. The engines are mounted further outboard. Meanwhile, the vertical fin is taller while the horizontal tailplane has a greater span. It also has a ventral fin to improve “longitudinal stability.”

The -331’s Pratt & Whitney JT3D-3 turbofan engines helped it hit ranges of up to   4,298 mi (6,920 km) at speeds of up to 552 mph (889 km/h).

Altogether, the 707 would help transform the way people around the world traveled. Boeing initially intended for the plane to be focused on medium-haul routes. However, the type was soon heading on transcontinental and transatlantic missions. Overall, Boeing delivered 856 707s in all variants between 1957 and 1994.

Registration N704PA held serial number 17683 and performed its first flight on March 3rd, 1959. PlaneLogger reports that first arrived at Pan Am’s holdings a year later. World Airways then operated the unit from March 1972 before returning it to Pan Am in December of that year. However, the legacy carrier would pass it to Vietnam Air in March 1973 before taking it back again in August 1975. The aircraft subsequently left the fleet and was scrapped after arriving at Aerotron AC’s facilities at the end of that year.

Time to head back

Following the end of The Beatles’ tour, Jane Luna Euler was a Pan Am flight attendant that was invited to work on The Beatles' return trip to London on February 22nd. At the airport, she witnessed thousands of fans screaming from behind barricades.

“The noise was incredible. Medical staff had been assigned to stand in the aisle created by the barricades to accept those fans who fainted in the crush of people and who were over-excited at the opportunity of seeing the Beatles. Those who fainted, both girls and boys, were forwarded to the medical staff hand-over-hand to the barricade aisle,” Euler said, as shared by The Pan Am Historical Foundation .

“On entering the aircraft another memorable sight awaited us. The entire First Class lounge was filled with hundreds/thousands of gifts of all sorts - large flowers arrangements, bouquets, drawings and paintings of a favorite Beatle, cakes, written tributes and poems, photos, and other tributes from their fans. There was an amazing assortment of these items.”

Euler adds that the band members were very courteous and pleasant during the flight, and despite enjoying some downtime with a cocktail of Scotch and milk, they were willing to sign autographs for those that asked.

An unmatched legacy

Altogether, this trip across the pond would long leave a mark on the music industry. Moreover, pop culture as a whole was revolutionized.

“The Beatles’ first American tour left a major imprint in the nation’s cultural memory. With American youth poised to break away from the culturally rigid landscape of the 1950s, the Beatles, with their exuberant music and good-natured rebellion, were the perfect catalyst for the shift,” HISTORY shares.

“Their singles and albums sold millions of records, and at one point in April 1964 all five best-selling U.S. singles were Beatles songs. By the time the Beatles first feature-film, A Hard Day’s Night, was released in August, Beatlemania was epidemic the world over. Later that month, the four boys from Liverpool returned to the United States for their second tour and played to sold-out arenas across the country.”

A unique time

Meet the Beatles! was the group’s second album released in the US. It debuted at #92 on the album chart for the week ending February 1st, 1964. Two weeks later, it peaked at #1 and remained there for eleven consecutive weeks.

The Beatles may have already been popular before their physical arrival to the US. However, after flying in on Pan Am's Boeing 707 for their first visit to the country, their presence was undoubtedly cemented. This event was just one of the thousands of memories made thanks to the help of Pan Am in the middle of the 20th century.

Review: PETER PAN National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago

The latest adaptation of the classic musical runs through April 7.

J. M. Barrie's beloved 1904 play Peter Pan refers to the Native Americans who inhabit the forests and coves of Neverland as "piccaninny warriors," and this is honestly one of the work's least offensive descriptions of the tribe. But these warriors, including the requisite damsel in distress Tiger Lily, delighted early audiences so much and functioned as such an integral plot device that later adaptations of the classic story did little to correct these harmful caricatures. One of these versions of the Peter Pan story was a 1954 musical of the same name. With a creative team that included director Jerome Robbins and composer Jule Styne , PETER PAN played to sold-out audiences for sixteen weeks before going on a national tour and receiving a televised production on NBC. This version featured actress Mary Martin as the titular boy who never grew up, a casting choice that has remained the standard ever since. Most recently, in 2014, the musical received another live NBC broadcast starring Allison Williams as Pan and Christopher Walken as Captain Hook. This new, somewhat more sensitive take on the story attempted to smooth over some of the original material's racist depictions of Native Americans, replacing the lyrically baffling and horribly offensive "peace pipe" song, "Ugg-a-Wugg."

Now, Native playwright Larissa FastHorse and lyricist Amanda Green , daughter of original lyricist Adolph Green , have reworked the musical yet again to further correct harmful stereotypes and update the story for modern sensibilities. This newest adaptation of PETER PAN, now touring throughout the United States, unquestionably corrects injustices that never should have been committed in the first place. But by flying Peter so enthusiastically into 2024, the creative team has stripped him and his story of some of their magic, making the boy who wouldn't grow up more out of touch than out of time. The musical plays at Chicago's James M. Nederlander Theatre through April 7.

FastHorse made history last year with her satire THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, becoming the first Native playwright to have a work produced on Broadway. Soon after, producers announced that she would be reworking the book of PETER PAN for its impending national tour. In interviews, FastHorse said that she wanted to move the story's opening and closing scenes from Victorian London to contemporary America so that "every child in this nation [can] look out their window... and believe Peter can fly by." The geographic transposition of the story makes a certain amount of sense; our current image of Peter Pan is as much an American invention as it is an English one. But references to cultural trends in the 2020s make the musical already feel painfully dated. Like the original musical, FastHorse's script begins with Wendy Darling ( Hawa Kamara ) and her younger brother John ( William Foon and Micah Turner Lee , alternately) waltzing in their bedroom. The difference, though, is that Wendy hopes that the video of the siblings' dance challenge will go viral on social media and earn her enough money to go to medical school (Wendy's age is never specified, but these details suggest she is either 12 or 22 years old). While viral dance challenges were all the rage several years ago, they've since fallen out of fashion, illustrating the dangers of using passing trends to appeal to audiences whose tastes rapidly shift in the age of smartphones and Snapchat.

More importantly, though, FastHorse has found a way to incorporate indigenous tribes into Peter's story without turning them into caricatures or merely smoothing over the material's rough edges. Now, Tiger Lily ( Raye Zaragoza ) and her companions represent indigenous cultures not just from the Americas but from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe too. Forced out of their ancestral homelands, these warriors have come to Neverland to preserve their cultures until they can finally return home. It's a relatively simple yet thoughtful change that justifies the tribes' presence on the island without ignoring the imperialism that forced them there in the first place. However, these changes introduce ideas that never feel fully fleshed out, solving one problem while introducing several others. References to the injustices these populations faced are ultimately fleeting, as though their backstory had to be shoehorned into a show that has to keep the attention of thousands of kids who might prefer to be watching their iPads.

The rest of the show's creative elements and performers work admirably to capture the imaginations of such children. As Peter, Nolan Almeida makes the most of his natural charisma, beaming a smile that can be seen in the back of the balcony while embodying the fluid physicality of a young boy. Almeida's vocal quality has a contemporary pop sound, making nearly 70-year-old songs feel surprisingly fresh. The flip side of this talent is that his line delivery occasionally takes on the singsong lilt of a TikTok influencer or a California skater. 

Peter Pan is nothing without Captain Hook, though, and Cody Garcia plays the part with such effortless humor and sublime talent that they become the rare villain you love to love rather than love to hate. Garcia displays a stunning vocal range that flies from a low growl to a heavenly falsetto in the span of a few notes, and their tall frame makes Hook's physicality all the more imposing and comical, especially alongside Kurt Perry 's bumbling first mate Smee. Watching their performance, one wishes that Garcia could be seen in a role that provides them with greater depth and freedom to showcase the full extent of their talents.

With the expanded book and added lyrics, Wendy and Tiger Lily have become somewhat more complex characters, though there's room for further depth and development. FastHorse includes a scene between the two that makes PETER PAN score higher on the Bechdel Test than before, but the fact that the women only ever talk about Peter prevents it from earning a passing grade. All the same, Kamara and Zaragoza have pleasing voices capable of expressing power and emotion. Zaragoza is actually an accomplished folk singer, and it feels like a missed opportunity that these talents weren't put to better use. In fact, given the cast and creative team that director Lonny Price has assembled, I wondered more than once what the product might have been if they had been allowed to create a PETER PAN musical from scratch without any obligations to the previous iterations.

After all, Price and his designers have proven themselves more than capable of capturing the magic of Barrie's story, using practical effects and projections in ways that would have been unimaginable in 1954. I dare anyone not to feel a sense of wonder as Peter takes flight into the Darlings' bedroom for the first time, sprinkling pixie dust across the floor and audience (the largely enchanting flight choreography is by Paul Rubin ). In one of the show's most delightful moments, Peter has an extended dance/fight sequence with his own shadow projected against the wall, the two of them bouncing across the room as shelves collapse and picture frames spin. This kind of playful, thoughtful stagecraft makes you want to see how technology pushes theater into fascinating new realms of design. David Bengali 's projections are beautifully rendered and thankfully lack the artificiality that plagues so many other projection-heavy productions. My only qualm came late in the show when the moon over the pirate ship suddenly grows large across the screen and joins in a song praising Captain Hook's villainy. Not only does this cheesy bit happen twice within roughly ten minutes, but it raises horrifying questions about the Lovecraftian celestial beings that inhabit the heavens over Neverland and encourage the bloodlust of the humans below. But the children in the audience didn't seem to mind.

And perhaps this is ultimately the sign of success for any production of PETER PAN, regardless of how often adults may roll their eyes or debate the merits of a new script. Kids throughout the auditorium began clapping to bring Tinker Bell back to life before Peter could ask twice, and one particularly bold boy sitting behind me booed Hook at every opportunity he could. This new, revamped PETER PAN may not necessarily be for the whole family, and I'm open to the idea that perhaps it shouldn't be. After all, Wendy and others lose their ability to fly as soon as they grow into adulthood. But one wishes that this production had found a way to allow us to share in that childhood wonder for just a little longer.

The 2024 Masters  is here, live from Augusta National Golf Club. The first major men's tournament on the PGA Tour, the Masters is a tournament deep in tradition, including its location and date. The tournament is always held during the first full week in April and is always located in Augusta, GA.

What's not predictable about the storied tournament is the competition. First-timers rarely win (no Masters newbie has won since Fuzzy Zoeller did it in 1979), while Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have won the most titles with six and five Masters wins respectively.  Jon Rahm won the 2023 Masters, while Scottie Scheffler won in 2022. Both sit at the top of the 2024 Masters leaderboard with Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka close behind. 

Approximately 40,000 people will watch the 2024 Masters live at Augusta, while most of us will watch from home. Keep reading below for the full Masters schedule , plus how and when to watch even if you don't have cable.
