Pan Am Far East Special - 1960's?

I'm hoping some of the researchers on this channel can help me find a date for this. I bought the footage (by the boxful -
virtually undescribed) from the late Something Weird video legend Mike Vraney on eBay. I wish I had bought everything he had for sale. He bought the assets of MovieLab NY when they went out of business. He was looking for exploitation films primarily - I was interested in (big surprise) TV commercials and obscure films.
This came to me as a-roll, b-roll and soundtrack. I did my best to transfer each seperately and try to put it back together in the Sony (now Magix) Vegas NLE. I never uploaded this - played with it last in 2011.
What I'm figuring this is missing is Pan Am logos at the start and end of the commercial as well. Footage is gorgeous Ektachrome I think.
Enjoy.
