No new destinations but some new routes to Southeast Asia from 1966 when Pan Am was flying the 707 for all it was worth. Not a part of the official Round-The-World flights but important to trade and commerce in Southeast Asia in the 60's. Actual Pan Am flight originated in LA but there are certainly already a plethora of LAX-HNL flights in the database so I started these in HNL.

Schedule Database: PAH
Flight Numbers: 1216, 1217
Route: PHNL-PGUM-RPLL-VVTS-WSSS-WIII
Length: 477nm - 3,302nm

These may help some of you potential Globetrotters. Enjoy!

Yea!!! Just flew Manila-TonSanNut in my trusty CS707, a beautiful day all the way. I have installed the calclassic South East Asia scenery package so the NAVAIDs are not onthe level of present day. I had to do the VOR 07L approach, but there is alot more to see on the ground than the default MS scenery.
Thanks again, Andrew!

Andrew...

Any chance of the former Northwest Cargo flights making their way into the schedule???
It'd be nice to have some freighters of our own instead of the Air France ones!!

Thanks again, Andrew. You are adding enough old Pan Am routes to keep my crew and I busy for some time .
