Former Employees Will Pay A Call On Pan Am International Flight
Academy
Pan Am International Flight Academy is a scheduled stop for
the "Worldwide Family Reunion" of former Pan Am Employees being
held October 20 - 23, 2011 in Miami, Florida.
Former employees, friends and family of Pan Am International
Flight Academy's founding airline, Pan American Airways,
affectionately known as Pan Am, together with aviation aficionados
from all over the globe and every division of the company, are
expected to attend the reunion being held in the Dinner Key/Coconut
Grove area of Miami. Attendees will be celebrating the Centennial
of Aviation in Miami as they honor the enormous part the airline
played in shaping aviation history while also marking 20 years
since the close of one of the country's most iconic pioneering
companies.
Interest in "Pan Am" is at an all-time high. Along with the
noteworthy rise and continued success of the former airline's only
remaining division, Pan Am International Flight Academy - providing
training solutions worldwide, there is the much-anticipated ABC
network television series "Pan Am," and the musical "Catch Me If
You Can" is now running on Broadway.
Pan Am
International Flight Academy president Vito Cutrone
enthusiastically welcomes former fellow employees: "...In many ways
we are all part of a very special family with an aviation legacy
second to none..." Speaking of his own personal experience as a
former Pan Am Airways pilot, managing director and head of its
training division, Mr. Cutrone said: "...Working for Pan Am was an
amazing experience! It wasn't unusual to be treated as if you
were the U. S. Ambassador to the country you happened to be in....
such was the respect the airline had throughout the world."
PAIFA intends to receive this special group with open arms and
provide tours of its facilities and operations, which include over
19 different types of full-flight jet simulators.
The Pan Am Airways Memorabilia Store located within Pan Am
International Flight Academy campus at the Miami International
Airport, features a combination of original items, reproductions
and new products adorned with the Pan Am logo that are difficult to
find anywhere else. The staff of the Pan Am Store are all original
Pan Am employees and have a wealth of knowledge about the
airline.
Other reunion events include a "Hangar Party," to be held in the
historic Coast Guard Hangar on the shores of Biscayne Bay in Dinner
Key which the original Pan Am Clippers once called home during the
pioneering days of aviation, as well as tours of the special
exhibit "Aviation in Miami: The First 100 Years" at HistoryMiami in
downtown Miami.
