Visited Hiller Museum last October, do we count this 747 as an honorary PanAm 747?

Went to the Hiller Aviation Museum last October (hence the spooky scary skeleton on the roof lol). They repainted their 747 fuselage in Pan Am colors from its original Fly Tigers livery. Still has FTL memorabilia and exhibit inside. Couldn't get a straight answer when I asked why they did it. What do yall think about this? Do we accept this repainted 747 section an honorary Pan Am 747?

I would not

If I knew the reason why, I'd be able to agree or disagree better lol

Fair enough lol

Brand recognition i would guess especially given the TV show. But I am on Team Nah.
It’s a damn shame that they couldn’t keep one original ship intact.

Wasn't the original plane they chopped that bit off of from BA of all airlines? I vaguely remembered that from the video they showed of how they got that cockpit there.

It was with British Airways at the start before going to Flying Tigers before being retired, if I remember correctly
