It is unclear which of Pan Am's large fleet of Boeing 727s this was filmed on.
Special thanks to Linda Reynolds for saving a collection of safety and training VHS tapes from the Pan Am Training Academy in Miami, Florida after the airline closed on December 4, 1991.

The 400Hz hum is strong in this one.

@STBYRUD 2 года назад

Thats a nice touch, yeah :D I'm assuming they plugged into the vacuum cleaner sockets in the galleys for power...

@zms8092 2 года назад

That flight attendant call button “bell” is fantastic!! I flew for Northwest for 8 years and don’t remember any of our 727s having that. I miss these jets dearly. They were true workhorses and very quiet unless you were seated all the way in the back.

@atomsmash100 8 месяцев назад

American's 727s also had the mechanical bell. The "seven-two" was a much loved aircraft.

It must have sucked sitting at the aft jumpseat with all three engines right on top of you.

I have permanent hearing loss from working in the back of 727 and DC-9 aircraft when I was a flight attendant at Northwest. Certain pitches of sounds like cabinets in a kitchen or silverware clanging actually hurts.

The aft door opened and became stairs sometimes used to board and deplane, too bad it wasn't shown here, a typical feature of the 727.

@jonathankleinow2073 2 года назад

Properly grounding and isolating everything to eliminate the 400 Hz tone was probably not a high priority, since they were making a plane and not a sound studio. :) But I feel like it's gotten better in recent decades? That, or my hearing's just gotten worse and I don't notice it as much.

@Colaholiker 2 года назад

@@jonathankleinow2073 Nah, you're reight, that nice 400 Hz sound is slowly dying out with newer planes... I think the last models to really feature it were the Mad Dogs, all newer models got rid of it.. Sadly.

@LiamWalsheliamskitchen Год назад

Indeed! I got to experience a similar seat on a US Airways 757-200 once in about 2009 and it was extremely comfortable compared to anything else I've seen lately. The only 2 seats I've had that have come fairly close to these in comfort are on Air Canada's Embraers and also United's older 737-800. Alaska 737-900 also wasn't too bad - oh and Virgin America A320 was really comfortable too.

@George75605 2 года назад

That was one of the 727-227's acquired after the Braniff Bankruptcy. The leather seats in 1st Class give it away, and also that the f/a call buttons on these were yellow.

@N747PA 2 года назад

Good eye. Those are definitely Braniff first class seats, but I don’t think it’s a -227. This plane has aftermarket sidewall panels which means it is probably a 1960s build airplane. My guess is an ex-National -235. I believe all of the PanAm -227s were newer and still had the Boeing widebody look sidewall panels. Also, that attendant call chime did not sound like the later airplanes. EDIT: the galleys match the 727-235, especially the creaky shelf up in F/C at 1:39

Out of interest, what causes the noise - you often hear it on recordings (inc. cockpit when talking to ATC). Fascinating stuff!

@Alpha8713 2 года назад

@@flyc3 Aircraft use 400Hz power. You are hearing that leak into the PA system and/or the videotape recorder when they shot this. Just as 60Hz power often leaks 60Hz hum into recordings if poorly shielded cables are used or if grounding is poor.

@jonathankleinow2073 2 года назад

@@Alpha8713 And I would guess we hear more of it when she's at the back of the cabin because there's more distance between her wireless mic and the camera, so there's more interference to be picked up along the way.

@Colaholiker 2 года назад

@@jonathankleinow2073 My guess is different. ;-) The aircraft was likely running off the APU (auxiliary power unit, for those not familiar with the acronym), which can supply power and air conditioning while on the ground. Today, planes usually have the APU mounted in the tail, but with the three engines of the 727 space was limited, and adding another heavy engine back there would have given a bad weight distribution. So the APU was mounted in the main gear wheel well. The camera is pretty close to the center of the aircraft when recording the "Cabin Class" segment, so it would be very close to the generator....

@johneddy908 5 месяцев назад

To the best of my knowledge, Pan Am mostly used its 727s on its Internal German Services (IGS) from Berlin-Tegel Airport in the American Sector to cities in western Europe during the period before German reunification.
