Pan Am, widely called as Clipper by ATC, is an aviation legend and the symbol for aviation for the early generation. It’s the first operator of the Boeing 747 and also the best known global aviation giant one time. The blue cheatline carrying on the B747 is one of the most elegant looking planes of all time. However the glory of the Pan Am deteriorates substantially after the famous “Lockerbie incident”. This marks one of the darkest days in civil aviation history. A Libyan secret agent put a bomb into a suitcase onboard a Pan Am flight across Atlantic and killing everyone onboard. Ever since then, the aviation industry has heightened the security bar and all luggages onboard must be accompanied by a passenger or else it will be unloaded. Air travels become safer after this incident, but it pays with a high price. Let us pay the tribute to the one who sacrifice their life in exchange for a safer sky nowadays.
