Pan Am Boeing 727 over West Berlin

A montage of a Pan Am Boeing 727-100 flying so low over West Berlin that in reality it would probably crash, showing the Kurfurstendamm shopping street, the Gedächtniskirche (memorial church, see earlier post) and the Bahnhof Zoo railway station.

During the DDR era the only three western airlines that the communist authorities allowed to fly over their airspace to West Berlin were Pan Am, British Airways and Air France, because of the technical four power status of Berlin.

From the look of the cars it is probably from the early 1970s.
