A YEN FOR THE DOLLAR: Airlines and the Transformation of US-Japanese Tourism, 1947-1 977 Douglas Karsner Department of History Bloomsburg University This article examines the transformation of transpacific tourism between the United States and Japan from 1947 to 1977, focusing on the key role that Pan American World Airways, Northwest Orient Airlines, and Japan Airlines played in this development. In the late 1940s, travel was mostly by a small upper class leisure market cruising on ships. Linkages between the air carriers and other factors, including governmental policy, travel organizations, and changes in business and culture influenced the industry. By the 1970s, these elements had reshaped the nature and geography of tourism, into a mass airline tourist market characterized by package tours, special interest trips, and consumer values. Between 1947 and 1977, several factors helped transform the nature of transpacific tourism between the United States and Japan. Pan American Airways, Northwest Airlines, and Japan Airlines played crucial roles in this development. These airline companies employed various marketing strategies, worked with travel associations, tapped into expanding consumer values, and pressured governments. Simultaneously, decisions made by tourist organizations, consumers, and especially governments also shaped this process. The evolution of transpacific tourism occurred in three stages, growing slowly from 1947 to 1954, accelerating in the period to 1964, and finally developing into a mass leisure market by the 1970s.’ When the US State Department officially permitted Pan American Airways and Northwest Airlines to start offering regularly scheduled service to Japan in August 1947, few American tourists wanted to make the journey. This was largely because they would have had to obtain a passport from the State Department and a certificate from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. -

DETROIT METROPOLITAN WAYNE COUNTY AIRPORT FAR PART 150 NOISE COMPATIBILITY STUDY UPDATE CHAPTERINVENTORY A Inventory Introduction Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is an integral component of the transportation infrastructure serving the Detroit Metropolitan area, southeast Michigan, and northwest Ohio. Because of its airfield and facility capabilities, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is also a vital part of the national system of airports. The Airport serves as not only the City of Detroit’s front door by providing visitors with an important first impression of the community, but also is the state's largest airport. The Airport provides transportation facilities that are an absolute necessity for some businesses, and a "required" convenience for others. Additionally, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport provides recreational and leisure traveler’s convenient access to air transportation with convenient non-stop and connecting service to many popular destinations. This Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 Noise Compatibility Planning Study is an update of a 1992 Study that was adopted by Wayne County and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1993. The Wayne County Airport Authority has implemented many of the recommendations contained in the previous FAR Part 150 Study. However, since completion of the previous study, there have been changes to the airfield, type of aircraft, and the number of aircraft operating at the airport. As such, many of these changes have likely resulted in changes to noise exposure and therefore the need for an update to the previous Study. The purpose of this airport facilities INVENTORY chapter of the Part 150 Study is to establish a baseline of information about existing airport facilities and operations, as well as local land use. -

NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1926-2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES Personal Retrospectives by Robert DuBert It's hard to believe that they are gone. Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept. -
General Aviation Activity and Airport Facilities
New Hampshire State Airport System Plan Update CHAPTER 2 - AIRPORT SYSTEM INVENTORY 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the existing airport system in New Hampshire as of the end of 2001 and early 2002 and served as the database for the overall System Plan. As such, it was updated throughout the course of the study. This Chapter focuses on the aviation infrastructure that makes up the system of airports in the State, as well as aviation activity, airport facilities, airport financing, airspace and air traffic services, as well as airport access.

National Transportation Safety Board
National Transportation Safety Board Airport Runway Accidents, Serious Incidents, Recommendations, and Statistics Deadliest Runway Accidents ● Tenerife, Canary Islands, March 27, 1977 (583 fatalities). The world’s deadliest runway accident occurred on March 27, 1977, when Pan Am (PAA) flight 1736, a Boeing 747, and KLM4805, a Boeing 747, collided on runway 12 at Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 passengers and crew. KLM4805 departed runway 12 without a takeoff clearance colliding with PAA1736 that was taxiing on the same runway during instrument meteorological conditions. The Spanish government determined the cause was: “The KLM aircraft had taken off without take-off clearance, in the absolute conviction that this clearance had been obtained, which was the result of a misunderstanding between the tower and the KLM aircraft. This misunderstanding had arisen from the mutual use of usual terminology which, however, gave rise to misinterpretation. In combination with a number of other coinciding circumstances, the premature take-off of the KLM aircraft resulted in a collision with the Pan Am aircraft, because the latter was still on the runway since it had missed the correct intersection.” ● Lexington, Kentucky, August 27, 2006 (49 fatalities). The deadliest runway accident in the United States occurred on August 27, 2006, at about 0606 eastern daylight time when Comair flight 5191, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19, N431CA, crashed during takeoff from Blue Grass Airport, Lexington, Kentucky. The flight crew was instructed to take off from runway 22 but instead lined up the airplane on runway 26 and began the takeoff roll. The airplane ran off the end of the runway and impacted the airport perimeter fence, trees, and terrain. -
