Sixth SP to join fleet
One more aircraft for Pan Am’s hard-working 747SP fleet.
The Board of Directors approved the acquisition of a sixth SP which is due for delivery in May. The aircraft, N536PA, will be named “Clipper Highflyer,” according to the Engineering Department.
The new jumbo jet brings to 39 the total number of widebodied jets in Pan Am’s fleet. These include 30 standard 747 passenger models and 3 all-cargo 747s.
Pan Am operates the largest 747 jumbo jet fleet in the world—which also is the largest jumbo fleet of any one aircraft type. United Airlines has 37 DC-lOs. . . in addition to 18 747s.
Pan Am’s 747SPs, meantime, continue to amaze on the long-haul routes. The inauguration of the SP South Pacific service saw the first flight between Sydney and San Francisco cover the 7,475 mile distance in a record 12 hours, 56 minutes with 33 First Class and 169 Economy aboard.
Since inauguration of 747 service on January 21,1970, Pan Am’s jumbo fleet has flown over 61.8 billion revenue passenger miles. . . carried 25.6 million passengers . . . and 101 million tons of cargo and mail. These statistics represent about 20 percent of the 747 industry totals, according to data supplied by The Boeing Co.
AWARE book distributed
Some of the most important people in Pan Am’s world—travel agents and U.S. Congressmen— will soon be receiving their own copy of a new 16-page booklet that updates the company’s situation at home and abroad. It was produced and paid for entirely by the Pan Am Employee Aware Committee.
Entitled We Need You, (WNY) the booklet uses clear, straightforward language to remove the mystery from technical subjects like domestic fill-up rights, off-route charter restrictions and discriminatory practices. WNY describes what’s been done in these areas and what should be done by the policy makers in Washington to end the inequities faced by Pan Am and other U.S. Flag carriers.
The booklet’s cover is linked to the title by an illustration patterned after the Uncle Sam induction posters created by the Army during World War II.
WNY resulted from an Aware Committee desire to continue the highly successful 1974 advertising campaign initiated by the Berlin-

Chairman Seawell:
Modest 76
Chairman Seawell told members of the New York Management Club that Pan Am will post a “modest” operating profit for 1976 and that the decision to acquire another 747$P are among the “omens of progress” for the coming year.
Seawell said the widely acknowledged bottom line profit that Pan Am will report for 1976 is chiefly because Of the recent debenture exchange, but he pointed to the expected operating profit as the most favorable sign in Pan Am’s financial turnaround.
