Christening, Pan American 747SP
The first time I ever flew in an airplane was at
a
XX circus in Grand Rapids. It was one of those
single-engine planes with the pilot and one passenger.

What a wonderful thrill.
To see this magnificent machine, which will be
off tomorrow to attempt an around-the-world record,
is to realize how far aviation as come.
I'm truly pleased to join the tradition of First
Ladies who have christened Pan American Clippers.
To
XXMXX Clipper Liberty Bell and
its future paseengers: Bon voyage!
