Final TWA Livery Flight Today! Did anyone else know this?

tpozstl · 11-02-2002, 12:20 AM

It is my understanding that the very last TWA livery aircraft revenue flight occured earlier today. It was a Boeing 767-300 from NYC-STL and apparently landed around 4:50pm late this afternoon in STL. With all of the layoffs, a good portion of the TWA family no longer works for AA. STL is the last holdout with any size pool of former TWA workers.

Best of luck to all TW/AA workers in these trying times!

I thought TWA MD-83 was the last one ?

Goodbye to another great American airline that once graced the skies. Goodbye TWA...................

Good bye TWA - you will surely be missed from the skies overhead!

Missing from the skies but forever in our hearts, you have joined the family of sleeping giants, Pan Am, Canadi>n, Ansett, EA just to name a few whose footprints have shaped the greatest industry the world has ever known.
Gone but not forgotten!

Good bye TWA. You had the best airline colors and you will be missed

Actually, I was surprised at the number of TWA aircraft still in TWA colors when I went through STL last weekend, I saw two 767-300's, a few MD-80's and one 767-300 still in the twin stripe!!!

A fond farewell to one of the "old guard" flag carriers. I saw a TWA twinstripe 763 in LAX a few weeks ago; Sentinal Chicken was kind enough to post some data.

Sad to see it go.

Needless to say, we are lacking a few TWA releases, namely:
727-100 and -200 in twin globe, twin stripe, and final liverys, L-1011 twin globe, MD-80 series, and CV-880. Aeroclassics will undoubtedly rectify the latter, but c'mon Gemini and Dragon - you've got the moulds.
