"It was fifty years ago today ..."

February 7, 1964. Pan-Am flight 101 from London arrived in New York City.

A quartet of mop-head lads set foot on American soil.

I was talking about this at work yesterday to a couple of co-workers. The two co-workers were not even born when the Beatles hit the US.

Yep. I remember this time very well.

By the way, the Today Show (on NBC TV) put up a link to some forgotten interviews with Lennon.

And if any of you av buffs are wondering what happened to N704PA:

N704PA, Boeing 707-331, Clipper Defiance, notes: C/n 17683, originally registered to Trans World Airlines, N771TW, but was never actually delivered. Instead, this Boeing 707 was delivered to Pan Am on 23 March 1960. Pan Am leased this Boeing 707 to Trans Polar, but the aircraft was never taken up. Instead, Pan Am leased it to World Airways for a few months in 1972, after which it was placed in storage at Oakland, California. Pan Am then leased, and later sold, this airliner outright to Air Vietnam on 21 December 1973. On 13 August 1975, Pan Am repossessed the airframe from Air Vietnam, and sold it a few months later to Aircraft Radio, Inc. In June 1977, this Boeing 707 was scrapped at Long Beach, California.

"My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!"-James Bond

Now that, my dear Watson, is a Fool on a Hill.
