My mom was a stewardess on TWA - DC3 from Kansas City to New York. Had to quit once she got married. Loved the airline and it's people. No one today can match TWA. Thanks for the memories . . .
EXCELLENT video! Never got to fly them but came within inches of working for them at EWR (was interviewed and tested before AA acquisition and never heard from anyone lol. Oh well). I appreciate everyone who takes the time to use their talents to memorialize commercial aviation. Always close to my heart!
Great Video!!!! I Love and miss TWA, I worked there as an Aircraft Mechanic in the 1990's. Thank you very much for creating this video, it brought back many memories.
My dad is a furloughed TWA pilot. He too has moved on (JetBlue A320 F/O, recalled to AA but deferred it to wait until this economy improves), but TWA holds a special place in all of us. Best of luck to you.
Awesome! My Grandfather worked for TWA for over 40 years, the last 25 years as the GM in Indianapolis. My Mother as well as one of my aunts worked as TWA flight attendants before they were married....on Connie's. TWA was 'the' only airline in our family. As a child I remember being one of the first to board both the 747 and L1011 when they made their first appearances in Indianapolis thanks to my Grandfather. It was like a piece of me being ripped out when TWA was acquired by American.
My father was chief of flight operations for many years. I miss what TWA did for my father . Carl Icahn was a monster, he destroyed one of the worlds finest airlines. Not to mention all the wonderful people whom invested their lives in TWA. God Bless
It sure was hard work in that building. Re-stocking the carts with thousands of soda cans was indeed a pain, but... I sure earned my stripes. I mostly did "quick-turns" out on the ramp by prepping the jet's cockpits and cabins for their outbound flights. Being in and around those huge red and white birds, made my job pleasurable and memorable.
TERRIFIC!!!!! I remeber flying with that great airline back in 1986 from JFK to Copenhagen, Denmark and back. I remember that trip like yesterday. Great song too! Thank you!!
Just a 21yo uncultured kid from the South Bronx. What I learned about life in my 4 years as a TWA F/A has carried me further than my college degree. still miss you T-Dub.
That totally rocks! I love the ending with all of the planes lined up at the end. Perfect song for it too. I cant believe I almost teared up to a FS9 video...
My family grew up all around TWA at MKC/KCI at the TWA Overhaul Base. Talk about bringing back old memories. It could be just like yesterday, if Icahn hadn't destroyed it. Long live TWA!!!
being a ST LOUIS NATIVE, I miss TWA SO MUCH. Most summers I could be found watching a cardinals game or watchin g TWA planes bringing the world to ST LOUIS. Since then St louis might as well be Tulsa, Columbus, or some other off the radar city.
This video is so good, I can't stop watching it. I watch it almost everyday. Best part: the 747 taxiing into Kennedy and shutting off its light. Also, the overhead view of Kennedy in the sunset.
I have missed TWA greatly, the last of the "classy airlines". The only one that comes close now is Continental, god help them if they merge with United. This was a well done video, thanks.
wow! can't believe i came across this video. The TWA B777-200 in the 80's TWA Livery was the one i repainted back in 2003 for FS2004, it's a small world lol
TWA was one of the best airlines there ever was! As far as TWA 800 is concerned, accidents happen despite the best of intentions. The FAA/NTSB is the one that inspects and issues airworthiness certificates for each and every airliner in the sky. TWA's takeover by AA was the death knell for comfort and great customer service that used to be standard at ALL airlines. Now, we have Southworst et. al. where you're packed in like sardines & treated like cow manure.
@nenblom American Airlines bought TWA in 2001, when they flew its ceremonial last flight - Flight 220 - from St. Louis to Las Vegas on December 1. It was also when all TWA routes had officially become that of AA's.
There is a little tribute in FS2004 for TWA: there is an airline called "World Travel Airlines" which means WTA, if you change the order is TWA, something like "Travel World Airlines". The white fuselage an red stripes are very similar.
Airline deregulation in the late 1970's. This spurred the demise on not only TWA but also Pan Am, National Airlines, Eastern Airlines, Braniff, Piedmont. I'm sure I missed others. It's truly sad. I flew on all these airlines as a kid.
After TWA's demise and the awful way their staff was treated by AA I have only boarded AA once since. I had no other choice at the time. TWA was a fantastic airline and even during the rough times they really tried to keep it together and they were always professional. I did notice after ICAHN got into the picture everything started to unravel fast and once he was gone they really tried but at that point the damage was too great. It was really sad for me to see them go.
@betelorg (PT-1) The Lockheed Constellation is born in 1939, pre WW2 with Howard Hughes requesting a 40 passenger pressurized cabin airliner from Lockheed for transcontinental flights (3,500m / 5,630km) her speed was 340mph/483km per hour. The intricate design was taken by Lockheed but Mr.Hughes was involved every inch of the way in the projects development! As the USA enter WW2 many were commission to the war effort before later being retrofitted into civilian commercial aviation!
This is a beautifully put together video with THE perfect choice of track by Arrow Smith. I guess a lot of it is simulation, I don't know? Is that really a StrataCruiser with the 3 fins? All airlines are struggling at present except for Air Lingus, who have loads of money. However, having flown with them once it was a frightful experience, particularly when the cost of flying was about 3 times the quoted seat price. I hope to never repeat it!
Ok, I'm NOT a flight-sim fan....BUT, this video was BEYOND Bitchin'!!! I hate to admit it, but watching this made me emotional. The line-up at the end with all the planes and liveries gave me chills. And the 747 in the last colors coming to a stop and turning off the lights was very fitting. I want to personally say THANK YOU! F@#& Carl Ichan.
This video is like gaining and losing TWA all over again. Even though I never got to expereience TWA, I heard it was a great airline. Howard Hughes would have bee proud of his "Little Airline that Could"!!!!!
Jack Frye and Howard Hughes' Airline. At least AAL made TWA heritage livery with one of their B737s. ^^ Jack and Howard till his last dying breath missed TWA terribly. Recommend reading TWA Howard Hughes Airline by Robert J. Serling!
@betelorg Pan Am was using the Boeing B. 377 Stratocruiser, until the Douglas DC-6B came out, then they upgraded to the Douglas DC-7C Seven Seas. I believe Eastern was another customer of the Super Constellation. The Constellation was developed as the XB-30 for bombing Japan. When, Lockheed lost the bid to Boeing, the design was converted from bomber to transport, where it proved to be superior to the Douglas C-54. The originial name of the Connie was the C-69.
@betelorg The aircraft with the three tail rotters was the Lockheed Constellation, Super Connie as it was called, it was developed together between TWA top brass Jack Frye, Paul Richter, Walt Hamilton and the one and only Howard Hughes together with Lockheed to give PAn Am a run for their money and to prepare TWA post WW2 for its big international expansion. Still for my generation (1970's) if you aim to break into the industry TWA was the airline you aim to be your employer!
No, some was sold to United Airlines, and some went to Delta. The rest went away in a bankruptcy court. About all that remains is the brand, which is licensed today to Boston-Main Airways, and is now called 'Pan Am Clipper Connection'.
"How was it to fly for TWA?" The word 'privilege' comes to mind. An honor as well. I had a 'balanced' career with TWA. Ten years as a Flight Engineer, thirteen as a co-pilot and finally, ten years as captain. Best wishes to you in your quest to become an airline pilot.
@betelorg (PT-3) The DC-4 that evolved into the DC-6 & DC-7 would be her competitor, never as glamorous nor revered as The Constellation. The record belongs to TWA when in 9/29/57 she flew London to San Francisco in 23hrs & 19min TWA & Trans*Brasil Ailines, two airlines that I'm proud to have call home! TW/Howard Hughes & TR/Dr. Omar Fontana even some generations apart, both pioneers in the aviation of their respective countries!
@betelorg (PT-2) TWA's specifications regarding cabin layouts and passenger comfort were unmatched in 2/6/46 when the first TWA Constellation open the new New York to Paris route that Juan Tripp/ Pan Am together with his bought and paid for politicians managed to keep as a monopoly for years! Pan Am will get their Constellations on 6/17/47 were as a marketing strategy were put into Pan Am flight #1, (around the world route) flight they operated for nearly 40 years!
That was a custom texture done by his friend. The aircraft itself is the POSKY 747-200. The interior I don't know but someone might have done it. Maybe his friend. The texture was never released. Maybe someday it will be.
warriordriver, Aerosim has the Tristar for TWA. It's a part of Classic Liners Vol. 2. You can get it for $35.00 as a download. It's only for FS9 aka FS2004 though.
What a great airline. TWA and Pan Am, the pioneers that ended all too soon. Sad and moving. American could have at least kept TWA's planes and employees or offered them similar jobs on American Eagle at the least.
Thanks for the info TWTR4EVER, very interesting backgund. I'm interested in yr comment - about the Super Constellation,- "developed by Lockheed to give PAn Am a run for their money." What planes were Pan Am using? Were Lockheed blocked from selling them to Pan Am? I heard they leaked oil all over the runways,- the RAF laid on special sand boxes to be placed under their engines when they very occasionally stopped at an RAF base.
Hi, WOW what a great tribute, I Love TWA. I'm looking for the TWA Tristar (2-stripe livery) Can you help me get one for FS2004? Kind regards, Mattijs (Holland)
I agree with you there, but if Delta brought TWA it would be worse because the bankraupcy that Delta went through propely would of ended up haveing the same result as American buying TWA.
i meant, AA should have kept more of TWA's planes, such as the 717, which could have replaced their Fokker-100's which they retired in 2004. And yes, I am a flyer of American Airlines, as can be seen by my username, which is the license number of one of their 777's.
I never been on TWA, but still imagining what it would be like in A380 or new Boeing 787 for pacific or transatlantic routes... If TWA is alive still today, then it can be compared with KLM or Lufthansa. Who ruined that beautiful airline?! I wanted to ride TWA.. T.T
Delta might have actually given the TWA people jobs instead of getting rid of them, like some of the former Pan-Am F/A's that are based out of JFK with DAL
If you think it was bad, think of what the people who worked at Pan Am and Eastern lost when those two airlines went out of business. Would you wish that fate on anyone? Being bought out by AA was the very best deal for all involved, even if you don't think it was.
I wouldn't include Double G's in that, he put delta into bankruptcy and brought 'em out of bankruptcy without mergers, and had any money that he would have recieved for getting them out of bankruptcy into a scholarship fund for delta's youngest family members and for any families hardship programs, but ya i can agree about the others
Seriously, AA did not treat TWA's crew members well, but someone had to buy TWA eventually. Would it be better if it went out of business without being sold? And AA is not discriminatory. They have a very diverse workforce and I noticed they treat its passengers well, regardless of race.
I am a flight attendant, I really Feel that T.W.A. FA got screwed hard by AA. I was a flight attendant for AMR. I am happy I am not with them anymore. :)
Why do you just have films at JFK and LAX and not STL and MCI which MCI was the biggest part of TWA once and before it was closed TWA was based at STL.
This video makes me sad I never got to experience a flight on TWA. To anyone who got to fly with them, how was the experience? Also, since I want to become a commercial pilot, to any former TWA pilots, how was it to fly for TWA?
What good is that going to do if those old planes are still being used by Joe Doe's air ways, the plane can be as old as it ever gets as long as the maintenance are done proprely, If flight 800 hadnt crashed with TWA, it would have crashed with AA,CO UAL,Jet blue or whichever ailine would have bought it.
AA benefited from the merge. Those JKF, LAG and Newark routs generated more bussiness to AA than what AA returned to TWA people.. So please, dont tell me AA was generous at all. Inspite of every problem TWA had, after all it was a better deal for AA..
@fcdrre1 You think it was for the better for AA/AMR to sell TWA employees a merger that they have from day one formulated as a "hostile takeover" were TWA crews and staff were to be systematically face out, liquidated and all for some international gateways they would never had access to on their own? I wait patiently for the day that DL/NW & UA/CO will put them out of business!

Thank you for making this video. Truly wonderful. TWA is my favourite airline, and you did a great job. Thanks again.
I did found the aircraft of TWAs. Is in avsim. I don't remember, but someone uploaded TWA of A380. TWA lives in our hearts. We miss you TWA. T.T

TWA may be gone in the world, but never in our hearts.
There is one on cardatabases modified airliners section. It looks quite nice.
cool-my dad used to fly L-1011s and 747s as F/E, and 727s and 757/767 as F/O at TWA
He also flies for jetBlue now!!
Research Carl Ichan.... He made the cuts that eventually bled TWA to death. TWA800 was just one of the final palpitations.

JetBlue took terminal 5 of JFK. Terminal 5 has the name of TWA Flight Center. The movie, "Catch me if you can" appears Terminal 5 of TWA.
Awesome video mate!
Beautiful video. So sad to see it gone.
777 and TWA would've been such a perfect match, sad to see that would never materialize :-(
What an amazing video!
Hi, WOW what a great tribute, I Love TWA. I'm looking for the TWA Tristar (2-stripe livery) Can you help me get one for FS2004?
Kind regards, Mattijs (Holland)
Congrats on a job well done arkie.
BEAUTIFULL, one question, how did you manage to get fotage inside of the plane with flight simulator????
I agree with you there, but if Delta brought TWA it would be worse because the bankraupcy that Delta went through propely would of ended up haveing the same result as American buying TWA.
i meant, AA should have kept more of TWA's planes, such as the 717, which could have replaced their Fokker-100's which they retired in 2004. And yes, I am a flyer of American Airlines, as can be seen by my username, which is the license number of one of their 777's.

if TWA did not go bankrupt in 2001, it would have became one of the world's greatest and largest airlines and would have brought the A380.
Delta might have actually given the TWA people jobs instead of getting rid of them, like some of the former Pan-Am F/A's that are based out of JFK with DAL
Actually it does work with FSX but it has a few issues. Some parts don't work well with FSX but it can be done.
Part of a club that includes Gerald Grinstein, Frank Lorenzo and the Marsan brothers of Iberia..lol
If you think it was bad, think of what the people who worked at Pan Am and Eastern lost when those two airlines went out of business. Would you wish that fate on anyone?
Being bought out by AA was the very best deal for all involved, even if you don't think it was.
TWA only had a hub at NY TWA was based at STL at the time.
OK; Thank you
What caused the debut, i mean like Pan Am went out of service after people were too afraid due to the Pan Am 747 bomb.
Just one tear..
amazing
I wouldn't include Double G's in that, he put delta into bankruptcy and brought 'em out of bankruptcy without mergers, and had any money that he would have recieved for getting them out of bankruptcy into a scholarship fund for delta's youngest family members and for any families hardship programs, but ya i can agree about the others
awesome!
Seriously, AA did not treat TWA's crew members well, but someone had to buy TWA eventually. Would it be better if it went out of business without being sold?
And AA is not discriminatory. They have a very diverse workforce and I noticed they treat its passengers well, regardless of race.
I am a flight attendant, I really Feel that T.W.A. FA got screwed hard by AA. I was a flight attendant for AMR. I am happy I am not with them anymore. :)
Avsim has it. I found TWA aircrafts there for FS2004, but FSX... I'm not sure if is there...
In FS X World travel now has a two different schemes, neither of which is red..
Why do you just have films at JFK and LAX and not STL and MCI which MCI was the biggest part of TWA once and before it was closed TWA was based at STL.
TWA = THE WORLDS AIRLINE
I think I just noticed some AA aircraft at 2:57. Were they put there to signify AA's takeover of TWA?
Why did TWA go out of service? Was it due to TWA 800?
Twa a employees would have been honored. How do you walk through the cabin?
Really moving....
Who is THE MAN who destroyed the airline?
This video makes me sad I never got to experience a flight on TWA. To anyone who got to fly with them, how was the experience? Also, since I want to become a commercial pilot, to any former TWA pilots, how was it to fly for TWA?
Hey where'd you get the TWA Tristar, been lookin all over for one
SWEEEET!!!
I think Continental is gone now too. Part of United.
What good is that going to do if those old planes are still being used by Joe Doe's air ways, the plane can be as old as it ever gets as long as the maintenance are done proprely, If flight 800 hadnt crashed with TWA, it would have crashed with AA,CO UAL,Jet blue or whichever ailine would have bought it.
i know taht but whate teh hell u mean with posetive? were u from? :P
AA benefited from the merge. Those JKF, LAG and Newark routs generated more bussiness to AA than what AA returned to TWA people..
So please, dont tell me AA was generous at all.
Inspite of every problem TWA had, after all it was a better deal for AA..
Love it!!
@fcdrre1 You think it was for the better for AA/AMR to sell TWA employees a merger that they have from day one formulated as a "hostile takeover" were TWA crews and staff were to be systematically face out, liquidated and all for some international gateways they would never had access to on their own?
I wait patiently for the day that DL/NW & UA/CO will put them out of business!
rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did you make this video?
VERY GOOD
