Check this out, I never knew TWA took up post was B17s and converted them for civil transport use. Interesting way of converting an old war bird to a executive transport.

Very interesting, Tommy! I had never heard about B-17s being converted into civilian transports, but it must have been a pretty interesting experience for the passengers. Interestingly enough, the Boeing 307 airliner was also derived from the B-17, but I'm not sure whether TWA ever operated them.

That's pretty amazing,
It still has the twin globes "TWA" style type too.
