[Milsurplus] Pan Am radio equipment

In 1991 I  was waiting for my passengers in the  LaGuardia   "Marine Air
Terminal"  a.k.a.  "MAT" which was home to the  Clipper's in the 30's and
40's, I set outside the side entrance -- and if I walked around the corner 
of the
terminal building I could see the bay and the dock area where the Clippers 
tied up , I  sat there  and watched  them take down the last  Blue Globe Pan 
Am signs for  Pan Am's  East Coast  shuttle service  and post the Delta 
signs and that was it, the last flights for Pan American Airways.  A sad
day, an end or an era.  I guess Pan AM  should have stuck with air 
transportation  and what they knew best and  stayed away from hotels and 
golf courses. etc.
Pan Am pilots were my hero's the best of the best.
