Re: MCO, TIX Spotting July 14th, July 15th Pan am 727
Ok thanks Matt.
Its too bad that they never expanded with more than just a few planes. I'd love to see them pick up some A320s after they lsoe the 727s.

I have flown on that 727 and Clipper Juan Trippe between SFB and BQN a few times.

What do those Pan Am 727s look like on the inside?

United interrior, a "first class cabin" which was just a bunch of United first class seats left up there. It was a a mix matched cabin though on both jets. I went to the bathroom and there was labeling for CO in there while the cabin was UA and the emergency flashlights sitting in the charger were from Delta.

So they went to the boneyard and just scrounged about to get stuff? :)

Quite humorous,
I still think they have one of the best liveries even out there still.
Even in its whitness.

They picked the planes up right from UA. Last time I flew out of SFB in any capacity there was a pair of UA 727's sitting in front of their "service center".

Senga,
Good catch on the Pan Am! Even their charter operations have slimmed down to almost nothing. The certificate is still holding 3 active 727's.....I'm guessing they've got those, the other parked 727's, and the UA parts planes all up in Portsmouth now.
How's the international traffic been this Summer? According to the schedules, it looks a bit slow....

Thanks Rich,
Yes thats true. They fly about 1 or 2 times a week now if they are lucky
The international traffic has been the usually characters. all the airlines are swicthing betwen the large aircrfat types also. exmaple. Like My Travel is A330 and 767. Globespan is flying the BLue GSP 767 in to SFB. So what should I expect as summer winds down and fall starts up?

What I meant was the base was UA but a mix of different equipment from different airlines.
Re: MCO, TIX Spotting July 14th, July 15th Pan am 727
Yep. They picked apart other planes but as far as I know the frames were UA birds. I recall flying aboard them and they were certainly United through and througth though I recall Continental equipment on board the plane in the form of emergency equipment.
