Still one of the most recognized logo's the world has seen. The classic lines of the routes flown by Pan Am Clippers.

Pan Am 747

Here is another 747 Clipper in Tokyo. This photo was widely published as a postcard to be sold at airports.

Pan Am in Tokyo in the early 70's

Here is a photo of a Pan Am Clipper at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. Pan Am had quite a presence in Japan especially on its Tokyo - Honolulu route and was a stop on its famous round the world service with Clipper 1 and Clipper 2 flights.

Pan Am and the 747 names

Pan Am over the years had named its aircraft with some interesting nautical themed names. Clipper Champion of the Seas and Clipper Water Witch are two that come to mind. These names once graced the hulls of the Clipper ships that sailed between the west coast United States and the Orient.

Some favorite names seen on Pan Am 747's were Clipper Sea Serpent, Clipper Romance of the Seas, Clipper Sovereign of the Seas, and Clipper Queen of the Pacific. These names all have been placed on Pan Am's 747 fleet that flew the world.
