Delta is just a refugee camp for TWA planes, I guess.

Very cool. My dad worked for TWA for 43 years. To say TWA was an impactful part of my childhood would be an understatement, good and bad. I love seeing those TW registrations out there!

Thank you for sharing. I miss flying on TWA aircraft from back then in the late 1980s and early 1990s.😊😊

I miss TWA beyond words could convey. I cried throughout the video. 😢 AA did no justice to TWA after the merger.

When I was 12 on August 19, 1961 I flew with my family from LGA to MDW on a TWA Super G. I recall the stops were at Pittsburgh and Cleveland and finally Midway at Chicago, ORD ,was not yet fully operational. I recall the marketing TWA people calling the service " AMBASSADOR", I did not feel like an ambassador as we arrived at around 2;30 in the AM. I am 74 now and hold that flight in my heart as it originated in Sao Paulo, Brazil the day before in a VARIG Super G Constellation!

There's one aircraft you forgot about, 4X-BYD. A Boeing 707-131 that once flew for TWA without being converted to the -120B standard and the only JT3C-powered 707 left in the world, sits in Israel.

I was 11 years old in 1988. And remember flying on TWA 747 from Heathrow to Los Angeles

I didn't realise the QantasLink 717s were former TWA (I had known they had been purchased off of American Airlines). I haven't personally flown on one (as the QantasLink flight I most often flew was covered by the Dash 8 turboprop) but I have seen them around

I miss TWA. I flew on them several times. It was always in an L 1011 and the service has a rule was very good.

I loved flying TWA. I flew TWA for the first time in 1974 when I was a boy going to Hawaii. THen in 1990, I flew to NYC from STL on an L1011. Love that airline !

This airline, where to begin. I loved traveling with them from that fabulous terminal at JFK. The place made you feel as if you were some VIP about jet set to some exotic place on the other side of the world! Those huge 747's, L1011's, friendly & smiling flight attendants, meals, drinks, etc. How the hell does a company so big go from carrying more than 50 percent of the passenger traffic across the Atlantic & beyond at one point, from having a hub operation in Europe that brutally competed and crushed domestic airline operations from those very nation states, to owning Hilton Hotels & resorts as well as other entities (late sixties into the early seventies) through its parent Trans World Corporation, to several bankruptcies just a few years later ??? Some very bad calls were made from the higher ups of this company that tanked this once gem of a brand into history. There will never be another like it, I miss them dearly.

Love your Trans World video, i never flew TWA ,i have some beautiful TWA models.

My very first flight was on a TWA Boeing 707! It was a charter flight from O'hare to Las Vegas back in 1978 and was in an all coach layout. Even though it was a charter the plane had plenty of legroom and had nicely padded seats. A hot meal was served and I remember the flight attendants passing out magazines and decks of cards....I still have those cards! Great airline with friendly attentive staff!

great video, thanks for putting this together.

Very good video. Just a note: the Constellation displayed in front of the TWA Hotel at JFK (min. 01:46) is not exactly a restaurant but more of a cocktail bar. From the hotel main entrance, by simply walking up the short stairs in front of you, then going past the main lobby up to the left, and finally exiting to the open air area at the back of the hotel, you can easily reach the aircraft, climb inside and also visit the cockpit. Perfectly preserved and restored.

That Is Such An Amazing Story Buddy🤩👍👏✈️🇺🇸!!!

Great Vid, brings me back to my youth growing up in the 60s and 70s . When you come this way, the Twa Hotel and the Lockheed lounge is a must 🤜🤛🗽

N129TW is NOT a 747-131. It is a 747-128, originally delivered to Air France. -131s were built to TWA specs and -128s were built to Air France specs, the last two digits being the Boeing customer code. N129TW was one of the decrepit old “Twisted Sisters”…a small batch of used, decrepit 1970s vintage second-hand 747s TWA acquired in the mid-90s to support increased fljghts. These aircraft were notorious for mechanical problems.

Rest in peace For All Passages And Crew For Disaster TWA Flight 800

You know what TWA? Travel With America. That's what the pilot used to say in the early 80's after we landed. Such a wonderful sense of humor. I miss those days where you had a special touch unlike today's airlines and airports rush.

What about the 727s? I can't believe you left those out. I realize most are gone but it would have been nice to have those documented in this video.

N703TW [757] will be pulled from service sometime this year [2024] and retired. DL should repaint this aircraft and donate it to the TWA hotel and put it up on a pedestal. I don't think the hotels ramp area could handle both the Connie and the 757. Just a thought.

My Dad worked for TWA as an electro-mechanic then leadman. Retired in the 90s with over 25years in. He was around to watch Carl Icon strip the company down and sell off the shell to the employees.

I remember flying back to the U.S. from Germany back in Sept 85. It was a 747, eerily similar to the one that was lost in 98. I also remember in July of 85, I flew with Japan Air Lines out of Narita on 747 heading back to the States. That same year, a Japan Air Lines 747 crashed in a Japanese mountain. :-(

My grandpa was a pilot on a twa 747😢

I live in vegas and i have seen that 747 at sands corp before

Fascinating. Most of the 717s and the 757s are in service with Delta now which loves reusing old aircraft - much cheaper than buying new.

Man. I wish TWA literally came back and I get a chance to fly it.

3:24 RIP TWA Flight 800

Lockheed Vega 5-c NR105W "Winnie Mae" was never a TWA aircraft. It carried mail for TWA during one of Wiley Post's attempted trips around the world. The picture associated with Douglas DC-3 NC1945 is actually DC-2 N1934D, which you immediately showcase after NC1945. Lockheed L-1049H N6937C isn't airworthy and the Airline History Museum hasn't conducted engine runs in more than 10 years. The only military or civilian Connie regularly flying right now is VH-EAG, a C-121C based in Australia. There are two more being restored and are nearly flight-ready: N422NA, a VC-121A that used to ferry General Douglas MacArthur around; and N9643, another VC-121A that was the first U.S. Air Force aircraft to use the callsign 'Air Force One."

The N129TW was scrappped in 2020. Edit: probably turned into a plane tag

I seen N651GT irl a few times!

American Airlines all 757s, including ones from TWA merger. Delta acquired most and became largest 757 operator.

Nah bro any aircraft that started in “Lockheed L-“ in TWA’s fleet like the L-1049 looks cool

Live 1 and a half hours from twas home town Kansas City

Never flew twa My dad worked for Ozark for 13 years my mom's friend works for American lot of memories

It’s so sad how being a 15 year kid I am, I have never experienced TWA or PAN AM

i feel sad that i never got to ride on twa or pan am,but i went to the twa hotel as a new yorker,and i got to board the lockeed aircraft,i am muslim so i dont drink but they allowed us to go during that time...we took a few photos,it felt nostalgic even though i was 10 at that time.i am 11 now,maybe they can get revived one day.

How did an American plane get into the hands of the Iranian air force

TWA Flight 800 💀💀

Isn't it supposed to be American Airlines

TWA was an awesome airline!! Too bad American Airlines didn't keep the airline flying. I also lost my frequent flyer mileage in the merger!! 👎

They identify as ....?

Very fast video can’t read

I dislike videos with bad music quality, reading limited screen narratives that move too fast.
