Pan Am Training Video: 747-123 Aircraft Familiarization and Service Procedures (circa early-1980s)

It is unclear which Boeing 747-123 aircraft this was filmed aboard, however, Pan Am only ever had two 747s of this specific type in the fleet: N9674 and N9670.

N9674 was named "Clipper Beacon Light" and served Pan Am between 1983 and 1991 with the exception of being leased to Tower Air between March and April of 1987. The aircraft in the video is most likely this aircraft as it was delivered first to Pan Am.

N9670 was named "Clipper Empress of the Skies" and served Pan Am between 1984 and 1991.

Both aircraft were converted in 1989 for use in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) when activated.

Special thanks to Linda Reynolds for saving a collection of safety and training VHS tapes from the Pan Am Flight Academy in Miami, Florida after the airline closed on December 4, 1991.
