Vesa Jussila Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi, Was Boeing Vertol ever used in PanAm colours? There is at least Tamiya model with PanAm decals, but was this livery ever used in real plane? Br. Vesa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I believe there is footage of one in the Clint Eastwood film 'Coogan's Bluff'. Steve Have a look here. http://www.worldsfaircommunity.org/topic/4...el/page__st__60 Edited October 24, 2011 by jacksdad64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think they were operated by NYA on behalf of Pan Am, and in full PA colours, tho' I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverog Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Silver Fox Decals produce decals for the NYA scheme (1/72nd) for BV107 N6675D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryrussell Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Back in the 1960's there was an article in the form of a PAN AM promo showing a PAn AM liveried Vertol 107 flying in front of the Pan Am building in New York. It operated from that building to the airport heralded as 'Seven minuets for seven dollars' and pointed out a taxi cost the same and took an hour.

Vesa Jussila Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Still hoping if someone can share picture of this plane and was there a ramp in this model? Vesa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanguin Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Dear Vesa, I have not yet found a picture anywhere of the Pan Am colours on an actual 107. However, the rear ramp is not actually a ramp, but a baggage area that slides out rearwards like a drawer: http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/vie...20-%202247.html http://www.flickriver.com/photos/gbaku/2089715213/ I hope that diagram and picture are helpful. They are the best I have found so far. Here are links to photos of the helicopter in New York Airways markings for any of you to enjoy: http://psa188.tripod.com/weber/nya107a.JPG http://psa188.tripod.com/weber/nya107b.JPG http://psa188.tripod.com/weber/nya107c.JPG http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1036161 http://www.airlinefan.com/airline-photos/1...-Vertol/107-II/ And a later incarnation: http://highroad.smugmug.com/keyword/boeing...531470461_48zmu And then a partial view of the cockpit: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/gbaku/536527096/ This site had a Tamiya 1/100 Pan Am/NYA sheet for sale, tatty but cheap, it is arrange alphabetically by airline so scroll down about 1/3rd of the page to Pan Am to find it: http://www.airline-hobby.us/forums/showthr...T-FOR-SALE!! No guarantee that it is still available! I hope that this is helpful, All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
