and..Gander is where I made my first North American landfall when I immigrated to the US at the tender age of 11 in 1955, flying from Hamburg to Idlewild (anyone remember what that is?) on Flying Tiger Lines (a cargo line, I believe, converted to charter service for immigrants), with another stop in KEF. Ah, the memories...and then a friend of my Mom's got me at Idlewild, went with me (just a tad exhausted) up the Empire Stae Building, giving me TWO awesome experiences, because she also fed me root beer, totally unknown in post-war Europe. Then she put me on the Nickel Plate Railroad to Cleveland, where my Mom was awaiting.
Sure, kinda, sorta. LOLOriginally Posted by haltz
Thought you might like seeing a Pan Am 707 landing at Idlewild Field with the new noise supressors on the engines. Gotta love it, don't think those supressors worked out to well. YouTube - The Boeing 707 arrives at JFK 1950's Pan American Airways Newsreel
