Cows and Pigs Fly Over E. Germany
By Dave Baxley
BERLIN— Cows and pigs sta rte d flying over E a st Ger­ m any on A pril 4. •There were 41 cows and 63 pigs aboard th e g ian t P an A m erican Boeing 707 Cargo Clipper when it landed from H am burg a t Tegel A irp o rt in the F ren ch sector of the divided city. Then a black and w hite cow, the first one off the airplane, jum ped out of its stall. It looked around fo r a com fortable spot, and lay down on the ram p alongside the airplane. “H ot w a te r!” called the v eterin arian on hand to inspect the anim als. “We need b lan k ets!” an o th er official called. A fte r a h alf hour of labor, the cow gave b irth to a calf. B erliners received 42 cows instead of the expected 41, and the assem bled jo u rn alists had two arriv als to re p o rt instead of one. The cows and pigs are being flown into B erlin from Ham ­ burg to reinforce W est B erlin’s livestock herds, dw indling since the end of F eb ru ary when th e E a st Germ an governm ent imposed a ban on the tra n s p o rt of livestock from W est Ger­ m any across its te rrito ry because of an outbreak of hoof and m outh disease in W est Germany. As the W est B erlin anim al population declined th ro u g h n a tu ra l causes, the farm ers and livestock im porters appealed to the W est B erlin S enat fo r assistance. The Senat, W est B erlin’s governing body, asked P an A m erican if it could operate an a irlift fo r cows and pigs. P an A m erican replied th a t every Monday it could operate two flights from H am burg to Berlin, carry in g approxim ately 40 cows and 60 pigs on each flight. Total num ber of anim als to be a irlifted is expected to be 620 dairy cows and 7,800 pigs. The cows ride in the m ain cabin of the airp lan e in spe­ cially-constructed stalls. The pigs are down below in the bellies in pens.

Pan American Lowers Many Fares to Japan
Reduced fares for transpacific travel, providing savings of as much as $80 on a roundtrip ticket for individual passengers, will be put into effect on May 7 by Pan Am. The new fare structure, subject to appropriate governmental approval, will apply to flights between the West Coast of the United States and Japan and Honolulu and Japan.

IGS Pilots Are Advised To Forget Old Numbers
BERLIN— “Any trip numbers and trip departure times you know from memory, FORGET!” So advised the Office of the Chief Pilot, IGS in a memo to all IGS pilots. The reason: many pilots, after flying to and from BER for years, know a lot of schedules by heart. But now they’ve all been changed. For example, until April 1, Flight 651 operated from Ber­ lin to Cologne, departing at 0700. Since April 1, Flight 651 operates from Berlin to Hannover, departing at 2045. And there are countless other examples. The only thing to do, for pilots, reservations and ticket office personnel, airport customer service people, travel agents, everyone concerned with the operation, is forget all the old numbers and learn the new ones. So far it seems to be working—no cases have been re­ ported of passengers travelling to the wrong destination on die right flight number, or of pilots flying to the wrong city. The flight numbering system for IGS schedules was changed in order to leave numbers available in the flight sched­ ule, in the same sequence, for future schedule expansion. Under the new system, the most northern city we serve in Germany, Hamburg, has the lowest flight numbers, from 600 1° 619; and our most southern city, Munich, has the highest, the 740 series.

P an Am’s proposals would establish seasonal fa re s fo r trav el between the U nited S tates and Tokyo. The “off sea­ son” Economy class fa res for individual trav el from Los A n­ geles, San F rancisco, P ortland, Seattle, and V ancouver to To­ kyo will be $370 one way and $703 roundtrip. P assengers would save $65 on a one-way tick et and $80 on a ro u n d trip ticket, com pared to the p resen t fares. This off-season period would include the m onths of Decem­ ber, Ja n u a ry and F ebruary. Between Honolulu and Tokyo the one-way Economy class fa re during the off-season would be $287, w ith a ro u n d trip fa re of $545.30. These fa res would save passengers $58 on a one-way ticket and $75.70 on a round­ trip ticket. F ares fo r the “on season”— from M arch 1 to November 30 —would also be lower th a n the p resen t fares. Between the W est Coast and Tokyo the on-season fa res would be $400 one way and $760 roundtrip. P assengers would (Continued on Page 10)

Million Hour Mark Passed By Pan Am's Boeing Jets
Pan A m erican’s fleet of Boeing b u ilt je t airlin ers passed an historic m ilepost A pril 8 when th e f a r ran g in g planes serving principal lands and countries th ro u g h o u t the free world m arked a m illion hours of flight time. P an Am in au g u rated the je t age revolution in a ir tra n s p o r­ tatio n eight years ago. In ru n n in g up a million hours of flight tim e w ith its Boeing 707, 727, and 720 airlin ers since then, the fleet has travelled more th an 560 m illion miles. This is equivalent to 22,000 trip s around the world a t the eq u ato r; or 160,000 flights between New York and London; or more th an 215,000 one-way trip s between S eattle and Honolulu. The record rep resen ts more th an 41,000 days and n ights of continuous flight. This is the same as more th an 112 years of unbroken flight.
