Question What's the Dilly Yo on Pan Am?

I was at Fort Lauderdale Int'l Airport yesterday (17 Oct) and saw an old 727 painted in classic Pan Am livery taking off at 2:30 PM... Does anyone know what's going on with that famous name these days? Obviously, they have at least one old aircraft carrying that famous name and logo...

Delta should have kept and changed their name to Pan Am when they bought them - with it's increased international name recognition it would have helped Delta a great deal.

What has happened to the Pan Am name is sad. They could have been in FLL because they changed where they fly, again (for about the seventh time in the years they've been operating, including several total shutdowns).
I think the only airport they've continuously served under their current operating certificate is Portsmouth, NH, because every time I look, they're trying something different.

The name certainly lives on in a very sad manner.

They operate or operated a regularly scheduled charter service FLL-POS. It also might have been a legit 1 time charter op.
