Apollo Sunrise - June 20th, 1996.

"In November of 1969, homeward bound aboard the "Yankee Clipper" command module, the Apollo 12 astronauts took this dramatic photograph of the Sun emerging from behind the Earth. From this distant perspective, part of the solar disk peers over the Earth's limb, its direct light producing the jewel-like glint, while sunlight scattered by the atmosphere creates the thin bright crescent. June 20th was the date for the 1996 summer solstice. From an earthbound perspective, the solar disk would climb to its greatest northern declination, marking the northern hemisphere's first day of summer and creating the longest day - with over 15 hours of daylight near a latitude of +40 degrees."

40 years Omega museum ! The OMEGA Museum in Biel/Bienne Switzerland, opened in 1984 was the first museum to be dedicated to a single Swiss watchmaker and has long been the guardian of OMEGA’s history. Since 2019, 50 years Apollo 11, it moved into the new buildings next to the Omega HQ. This photo shows the NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.012-66 CB (NASA n° 57) used by US Navy Captain Apollo 12 Command Module Pilot Richard "Dick"Gordon (1929-2017) onboard "Yankee Clipper" in November 1969. 42 mm Speedmaster with 321 movement in a Centrale Boîte case.

airsLLide No. 1978: N374PA, Boeing 727-214 Adv., Pan Am, Miami-International, March 22, 1988.

Leaving the stand for a morning departure, Pan Am's «Clipper Flying Arrow» displays a pecularity that distinguished her from most of her other sisters with Pan Am: Instead of the usual metallic finish of the lower belly, she was painted white all the way to the bottom, be it for trial purposes, or for another reason unknown to me. In any case, her previous identity with California-based PSA Pacific Southwest Airlines doesn't explain the white underbelly, since PSA's planes were certainly famous for their smile painted beneath the cockpit, but not for an overall white fuselage.

She was not quite the only PanAm 727 featuring that variation in paint work, at least three more units (N376PA, N877UM and N878UM), maybe even a few more, had similar looks, all of them second hand additions that joined the fleet in the mid 1980s. Other units Pan Am added at the same time however kept the classic silver belly (N876UM or N373PA, the latter also a former PSA bird).

On February 7, 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from London Heathrow lands at New York’s Kennedy Airport—and “Beatlemania” arrives. It was the first visit to the United States by the Beatles, a British rock-and-roll quartet that had just scored its first No. 1 U.S. hit six days before with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” At Kennedy, the “Fab Four”—dressed in mod suits and sporting their trademark pudding bowl haircuts—were greeted by 3,000 screaming fans who caused a near riot when the boys stepped off their plane and onto American soil.
