Added some more 1963 Pan Am historical B707-320 flights thanks to Jim Daigneau. New York to Orly to Rome to Beirut to Tehran and back again. Great flights across the pond to a region not open to US commercial flights today. Spread the love...

Thanks again! Didn't Pan Am operate some kind of non-stop flight between KJFK and OIII using a 747SP? And unless this flight took place during the 60s, LIRF didn't exist at the time.

Good question Darren. I wonder if they did. Probably can do some digging.
LIRF opened in 1961 and these were 1963 flights.

Thanks, Andrew and Jim. Looking forward to flying the route in the B707-320. In 1963, Another interesting route: Pan Am Flight 2 went New York to San Francisco (eastbound) with many interesting stops - see timetable at http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/pa/pa63/pa63-04.jpg
