Pan Am Flight 21 from New York to Miami took off on schedule this morning. Nothing unusual there... except the name of the airline. Pan Am is back in the air again today after going out of business in 1991, the victim of years of mismanagement and a terrorist bombing. The new investors who bought the right to use the Pan Am name are hoping they can use that name to succeed against heavy competition. NPR's Jim Zarroli has a report.
