it has retired the last of its fleet
of piston aircraft, the Boeing

the 2.400 miles in 7 hours and 31
minutes.
“Not bad for a broken-down old
broad just a few days away from
the graveyard,” the fight engi
neer wrote in his log.
Pan Am is turning in some of
the Stratocrusiers on new jet pur
chases.
