Birthplace of Pan American Airlines

Founded as a air mail and passenger service to the Caribbean islands, it became the largest international air carrier in the United States until it’s collapse in December of 1991.

During its peak between the late 1950s and early 1970s, Pan Am was known for its advanced fleet, highly trained staff and amenities.

In 1970 it flew 11 million passengers to 86 countries with destinations in every continent except Antarctica.

First Flight Island Restaurant and Brewery is known as the birthplace of Pan Am and their first tickets were sold out of this very building in 1927.
