Welcome to WWWLLPT: Lost Luggage: Videos. Here you will find all of the videos of PBA people, places, and things that I have in the collection. Please keep in mind that the youngest of these videos were filmed over 30 years ago—when personal video cameras were still relatively new and VHS was the prime format.
Regardless, if you have a PBA video that you would like to share, please contact us. Contributions are always appreciated!
A 16 minute film of a slide show presented by John Van Arsdale, founder of Provincetown-Boston Airline, inc. (PBA), featuring the early years of the airline from the 1950’s through the 1970’s.
This slide show was presented at the Pilgrim Monument and Museum in the 1980’s.
This movie was filmed two months after the final day of operations at PBA (Provincetown Boston Airlines) when George Felton, the Director of Operations gave me the honor of ferrying one of the last two Douglas DC-3s from the PBA fleet from Hyannis, MA to Marco Island, FL.
This movie was filmed during the last day of operation of PBA (Provincetown Boston Airlines) which at that time was acquired by some major airline companies as depicted by the many different paint schemes on the airplanes. Although they may have tried to fragment the company, they never fractured the spirit of the employees right up to the last day and beyond.

This video captures a snapshot of what was a typical day at work at Provincetown Airport during the summer of 1986. As many will agree, working for PBA was fun Company that cared greatly for its employees, as we all still share many great memories and good times of that era. So with that I dedicate this video to all who worked or flew on PBA.
