TWA - Trans World Airlines at Lambert St Louis Airport - Flying into History - DC9, 717, 757, Saab

TWA - Trans World Airlines at Lambert St Louis Airport - Flying into History - Many TWAer's saw my DVD video called "Flying into History". It was my attempt to collate footage, photos and audio that I had collected of TWA at various points during my teenage years. Trans World Airlines holds a very special place in my memories. The first flight I took was in 1988 on board a Boeing 767-200 from London Gatwick to Baltimore. The reason for the flight was for medical treatment for my brother who had been diagnosed as one of the first children in the UK with ALD - Adrenoleukodystrophy ("Lorenzo's Oil"). The treatment we received on that flight was second to none. One of the crew even took my family and I on a sightseeing tour of Washington DC. I was allowed to sit in the cockpit when at the gate at LGW. I was transfixed by aircraft from this moment. When I returned home I found out about TWA, it's history, it's difficulties, and I was even more interested. I then began writing to the London Offices for any information or promotional items - anything TWA! I amassed a number of timetables and Ambassadors magazines as a result! At a very challenging point in my life, aviation spoke to me - much as it does today. I had an idea, having recently re-mastered / re-edited some footage of Russian Tupolev TU154 aircraft (rare, loud, classics!) I thought I wonder if I could do something similar to some of my TWA footage. This is the result. A few things to note; 1. The original footage was filmed in digital format only (it wasn't even HD!) 2. The original footage was in 4 x 3 format (it wasn't widescreen!) 3. The footage was all handheld, filmed through glass. 4. This was the first 'proper' footage I really tried to get of aircraft - a skill and technique that has been developed, challenged and honed over many, many years now! Regardless of the above points, I hope you will enjoy seeing TWA and some of the operations at their hub in St Louis and a few fleeting glimpses at London Gatwick. Thank you TWA for giving me my interest. Thank you to the amazing flight attendant who did so much for us and to the manager at the London Offices who helped foster my interest. TWA was taken over in 2001 by American Airlines. I am aware that many staff were affected by this and that there are many associated issues , however I hope this video brings back some fond memories. ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "Wizzair London Luton Plane Spotting Airbus A320 Sharklets Wizz Air Wizz.com Hungary Airplanes"    • Wizzair London Luton Plane Spotting Airbus...   ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
