Ford of Vietnamese war orphans in the final days of Saigon in 1975. The Pan Am Museum, in partnership with the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation (geraldrfordfoundation.org) and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum (fordlibrarymuseum.gov/#event-number-901) , commissioned filmmaker Dirk Braun to create the documentary short film, Operation Babylift: 50 Years Later: 1975-2025, A Celebration of the Human Spirit (youtube.com/watch?v=Dv6fPwgVG6A) .Steve Ford has enjoyed a remarkable acting career spanning over 40 years, with appearances in more than 800 hours of film and television productions.

After serving for eight years, Thuy returned to her adoptive hometown of Portland, Oregon and started her own business, a construction and roofing company called Acme High Performance. She is also a missionary with One Challenge and a coach of soccer, track, and lacrosse…spending her time traveling the world, using sports to bridge the gap with traumatized people in refugee camps in third-world countries and helps these kids process trauma by using sports as a way to create friendships and smiles.

Our guest for this episode is Pan Am veteran Yvonne Conde who wrote the book Operation Pedro Pan: The Untold Exodus of 14,048 Cuban Children (amazon.com/Operation-Pedro-Pan-Untold-Children/dp/1683403886/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VFWH751VFJZV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xGq7J1ZxGujLc3zhkGKETI_NNhUNrivSTD4bvfoZxsI.BuRDJvZluEjlI2nxLDiT0gY4MtofLz_d0L8-GxEh40k&dib_tag=se&keywords=Operation+Pedro+Pan%3A+The+Untold+Exodus+of+14%2C048+Cuban+Children&qid=1751216831&sprefix=operation+pedro+pan+the+untold+exodus+of+14%2C048+cuban+children%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1) . She will share many personal insights on being one of the many children that were sent away by their parents for a better future in America in the early 1960s. Yvonne will also share her stories of working for Pan Am during her 18 years in the air as a flight attendant. Her father, Pedro Conde, worked for Pan American in Havana from the 1940s to the early 1960s. Yvonne is a freelance writer based in New York City and has written for Latina Magazine, Crain’s, Smithsonian, and Hispanic Business Magazine and has been featured on the NewHour with Jim Lehrer and National Public Radio. Operation Pedro Pan facilitated the migration of Cuban children to the United States as a response to the Cuban Revolution and the subsequent fear among Cuban families that their parental rights would be revoked and their children would be indoctrinated into communism.Under the operation, more than 14,000 Cuban children, primarily between the ages of 6 and 18, were sent to the U.S. without their parents. The children were placed in foster homes, orphanages, and other institutions, with the intention of reuniting them with their families later. The operation ended during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 that put the United States and the Soviet Union on the brink of nuclear war.

Pan Am Footage: Sikorsky S-42 Take Off from Dinner Key, Florida (circa 1934, no sound) Pan Am Museum Foundation 2025-04-28 | The Sikorsky S-42 was a commercial flying boat designed and built by Sikorsky Aircraft to meet requirements for a long-range flying boat laid out by Pan American World Airways. The innovative design included wing flaps, variable-pitch propellers, and a tail-carrying full-length hull. The prototype first flew on 29 March 1934, and, in the period of development and test flying that followed, quickly established ten world records for payload-to-height. The "Flying Clipper" and the "Pan Am Clipper" were other names for the S-42.While the S-42’s impressive performance was a tremendous advance over Pan American’s previous aircraft, it had been designed to circle Caribbean and cross the Atlantic, and did not have the range for passenger service across the Pacific.The S-42 accommodated 32 passengers for daytime flights, in four separate compartments with eight seats each. The ship’s relatively short range precluded the need for the sleeping berths provided on subsequent clippers.Like this video? Like and subscribe to our YouTube Channel!

Pan Am Commercial: Pan American Routes to the West Indies to South America (circa 1929, Silent Film) Pan Am Museum Foundation 2025-04-27 | This rare silent film, circa 1929, was played in movie theaters to promote Pan American Airways. It is probably one of the first company marketing films of its kind. It depicts passenger rail service to Pan Am hubs, inflight footage of passengers drinking tea and coffee, and air routes to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. It also features footage of Charles Lindbergh. The film showcases the Ford Tri-Motor aircraft, also known as the "Tin Goose," which was a prominent aircraft in the early days of commercial aviation and played a significant role in Pan Am's early operations. Pan Am was one of the largest users of the Ford Tri-Motor, utilizing it for its international routes, particularly the Key West to Havana route. Like this video?

Interview with Gene Roddenberry, Pan Am Pilot & Star Trek Creator (August 14, 1988) Pan Am Museum Foundation 2025-01-07 | To learn more, listen to “Episode 52: George Takei Remembers Gene Roddenberry” of The Pan Am Podcast:podcast.thepanammuseum.org/1836491/episodes/16336628-episode-52-george-takei-remembers-gene-roddenberry-pan-am-pilot-1945-1948After serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps as a pilot in World War II, Gene Roddenberry joined Pan American World Airways in 1945. On June 19, 1947, he was deadheading as a passenger on Pan Am Flight 121, a Lockheed L-049 Constellation named Clipper Eclipse. The aircraft developed engine trouble and crashed in the Syrian desert killing 15 people, including seven crew members and eight passengers. This near death experience changed his perspective on life and career. He decided to resign from Pan Am on May 15, 1948 and went on to become an LAPD officer and pursue his dream of writing for television. This rare interview excerpt was recorded on August 14, 1988 at his home in Carlsbad, California. It is the only known interview to exist (to our knowledge) where Roddenberry talks in detail about his time with Pan Am and the Flight 121 crash. It is presented on this channel for educational purposes. Roddenberry would pass away three years later on October 24, 1991. The video was discovered by YouTuber Larmon who found it an old tape archive at his college. It is unknown what the interview was for, but it appears to be an uncompleted and abandoned project. The interviewer was his professor. No further information is available. To view the full interview, click here: youtube.com/watch?v=KMa1v7ii5P0Like this video?

Then we will be joined by a very special guest, George Takei, a legendary actor, NY Times Best Selling author, and activist. He knew “Star Trek” creator and Pan Am pilot Gene Roddenberry well for over 25 years playing Mr. Sulu in the 1966 television show “Star Trek” and six subsequent feature films. George will share his personal insights into the Roddenberry philosophy, memories of living in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II, working in Hollywood as an actor, and how he became a pop culture icon. His latest book, Rhymes With Takei (amazon.com/Rhymes-Takei-George/dp/1603095748/ref=sr_1_1?crid=PI3H08OSRJEU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YNgq2n7Qfk1-rNDiPTrCU1CQIG61J8GvnmiLuuOEWbv7n0BxD5d3KX3OPV7tWU8hSuXPDQPXo1GXZ347je3_-ak54QZdwH_V6sV355hoLsCM-EACtqZQoSpyjfX9Y8S1hzMqup2AA0HnVtmviFGy8MgHA0CNqJae2MVpb8jPG9D8swkHyvxr4HWaiLcYiJUGvs0E6YIA4KILuSIKgotnTWfANcoRjWnQEfhavHqC79U.R__6H-dSWQcPhAS8ieUq9f8nd5InMCeRCX9L0yDf34w&dib_tag=se&keywords=rhymes+with+takei&qid=1736115441&sprefix=rymes+with+takei%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1) , will be released on June 17, 2025 and can be pre-ordered. In the early hours of June 19, 1947, Pan Am Clipper Eclipse, a Lockheed L-049 Constellation, crashed in the Syrian desert (youtube.com/watch?v=5T-EV86pyqI) killing 15 people. Third Officer Gene Roddenberry was traveling as a passenger and became the senior officer after the flight crew was killed. He took charge of the crash site, organized and helped survivors, and sought help. After they were rescued, he decided he didn't want to fly anymore and resigned from Pan Am almost a year later on May 15, 1948 to pursue his dream of writing, particularly for the new medium of television.
