Pan American World Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. The airline was a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, and many historic feats. One of these took place on October 30, 1977, as Pan Am 747SP "New Horizons" (N533PA) landed after flying over both North and South Poles in a record setting time of 54 hours, 7 minutes. This "Pan Am Flight 50" celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pan American Airlines. As documented in this historic film, the flight lasted from October 28-30,1977. It started at San Francisco/SFO and had three stopovers at London-Heathrow Airport, Cape Town International Airport, and Auckland Airport. Pan Am would continue in operation for less than fifteen years after this historic feat.
