Nope, I am sure you guys are correct. Ken Snow retired, iirc, when PA shut down, so it had to be the latest version they flew - my misteak. He flew for PA for 35 years, a nice career ranging from DC- and Boeing strats to the Whale, and I do not recall he flew for anyone other than PA (he served in the U S Navy, and later learned to fly).

I flew on AA's 747-123, but iirc they operated a very few TW -SPs - I never flew on those, but it certainly offered performance, if not operating economy.

FN-GM, you truly have a way with words. Ground-breaking problems can be serious, indeed.

It was probably with another airline after Pan Am finished...
