1958 Pan Ams First revenue service New York (Idlewild) to Paris.

I remember in 1988 Pan Am had already disposed of all their 707's, but they had one painted up for an anniversary ceremony. I remember seeing it parked by their hangars. At that time you could drive right up to that area with no hassles at all. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of it.

First flight of the P-51 too...
