PAA's Guam Facility - Aviation pioneer C.M. Keys once remarked “90 per cent of aviation is on the ground.”

PAA's hotel facility at Sumay,

on Guam.

Aviation pioneer C.M. Keys once

remarked "90 per cent of aviation is on the ground." The simple meaning was that Pan American went to great logistical expense to create the support bases needed just to move

a relatively small number of

passengers across the Pacific Ocean, and did it not only well, but in very great style. This is the reason why Pan Am is so well remembered.
