    I hope he doesn't crash on landing, his nose gear is off center. The background looks like LAX, so it's like Canyon Blue II.

    How freakin' awesome would THAT be? Though, in reality, they would have replaced the 747s with Airbus birds. Didn't they have A330s on order at one point? I actually have a TWA A330 model at home in Orlando in the 80s/90s colors.

    Yes TWA did have the A330's on order. However TWA also had route authority to NRT from STL and was planning on starting the route with two 777s.

    http://www.badermodels.com - they are based in the middle east, and from what I heard there is a waiting list, I did send them an e-mail seeing what they can tell/ send me. They are quite nice and they even do boats-buildings,etc- very neat if you ask me!

    Apparently this company will build any aircraft in any color scheme you want. Expensive, but pretty awesome. They also seem to have a number of premade models that you can order instantly: http://www.badermodels.com/air_instant.htm

    When I look back it wasn't so bad really. Considering what we are seeing now it was Very nice. Honestly.
    Tommy I noticed for a while now you have an affinity for TWA. Do yo have a connection with them or do you love the airline and its history?

    Very long story Senga but I've grown up with TWA, flying them countless times over and over as a child, teen, college stutdent and adult. Lots of memories of going to Europe out of T5 in the 90's.

    Oh ok, That would explain it. I remember seeing TWA's aircraft frequently flying low over us from base to final for runway 36 (at the time) at Washington-National during marching band practice. (early 90s)
    I should have been hitting the airports instead of wasting time blowing air through a metal contraption.
