Starting in 1927 with a vision, some single engine aircraft, and a few trans-oceanic routes, Pan Am's emphasis on image and branding created the "jet-setter" lifestyle. On April 17, 1935, the S-42 Pioneer Clipper skimmed the surface of the Pacific Ocean becoming the first ever landing in Hawaiian waters after a a flight from Alameda, California that lasted 17 hours and 44 minutes. Offering opulent luxury to both domestic and international travelers, Pan Am has left behind a legacy of comfort and sophistication, that many tried to copy, and that still resonates today.

Since its beginnings as an airline, Pan Am was constantly engaged with the life and culture of the Hawaiian Islands, and became the principal sponsor to the World Tour of Surfing in the 1970's.

Malibu Shirts has been designing clothing based on Pan Am's operations from its Hawaii base, and Pan Am's sponsorship of professional surfing for a number of years, and Malibu Shirts welcomes ABC's new TV series on life in a great airline, in a great era for travel.
