Found an interesting article about some of the "green screen" work they did for the show, with before and after photos...they did the work at the Grumman Studios.

"I love how the wife of the husband who banged the FA owned her after they landed."


How was she getting owned if the FA had no idea she was married? The FA was just as pissed as having been tricked.


I digress. Wifey and I watched it. I can't comment on accuracy since I was too young, but it was enjoyable. The 707 cgi stiff was yucky.

The FRG scenes, did they use Museum pieces other than the c47? Jeeps? vehicles?


We'll be watching it. AS I said, previews call it hte best show this season.

Whats more interesting was listening to some of our aunts and uncles who watched and their comments about how ****ty travel is today and how people have no class these days. It was interesting to really hear about it from people who miss the old days of flgiht, where it was once prestigious.


Last comment, yes the opening takeoff scene with clearance on 31L was real, but we laughed as both pilots were smiling at each other in mid takeoff roll. That was a CHHHHHEEEEEEEEESIE moment!

Mario, in addition to the C-47, one of the museum's trucks was used. The production company also had vehicles from other sources.

If you missed it Sunday, ABC is re-airing the first episode of Pan Am tonight at 9pm Eastern / 8pm Central.

One thing they need to fix is the sound clip for the engines. The 707 has a distinct "whine". I too was happy they at least got Rwy 31L right. I still can't believe that LaGuardia Runway 44 was mentioned in Catch Me If You Can.

I don't understand- all of a sudden they don't want to use mock-ups, they need a real plane? They seem to be getting by with the mock-ups just fine so far(i.e. last week's episode featuring the VC-137B)

But hey, bring on the real thing baby! I'll be there when it comes in for sure

And that list on that link is pretty informative- now at least I know the identity of the 707 I spotted sticking out of a hangar at KSAT 2 years ago

SO, been thinking about the show and especially the 707 at FRG right now.

You know, someone posted a link some time ago that showed how much of the scenes were actually CGI put into the background.

That said, having seen to what extent they can use CGI, I wonder why they've chosen to bring in Clipper Ella for a scene. I mean, they actually CGIed a scene at JFK where you see the FA's walk onto a 707 that isn't there. Just wondering, with that kind of talent, why bring in a jet?



NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING!!! ;) I LOVE it, Just wondering.
