TWA (Trans World Airlines) Tribute

A tribute to TWA, An airline that will be dearly missed along with Pan Am. TWA operated from 1925-2001 when it was acquired by American Airlines due to poor management. AA scaled back the STL hub and retired half of TWA's fleet along with reducing most of TWA's employees. Goodbye TWA. Song is Aerosmith I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

@ChaosForHigher

I made this video all freeware except Zinertek Water Pack, I believe

@ChoiceFS9Productions @ChoiceFS9Productions Gotcha. I really hate to keep bothering you with this, but I've only ever used WOAI for AI planes before and as being from a TWA family, I'm really interested in getting TWA AI on my system.

If I download twa__20dec00.zip from avsim, does that include the planes? If not, what do I have to do after I download that to get a full operating TWA AI fleet like you have? Thank you

@tomcatpilot1 Any aircraft you want to use.

[tomcatpilot1]

@ChoiceFS9Productions Okay cool thanks for the help. One more thing. Does it matter which AI aircraft you use, or can it be any? Like in order for the flight plans to work, do I have to use aia_b717_twa.zip or could i use another TWA 717?

I just saw a Mad Men episode (S3E1) and TWA flight crew played a prominent part. It was like watching ABC's Pan Am.. Only it was more like AMC's TWA! And decently produced..

@tomcatpilot1 I installed them by compiling them in a program TTools after installing the aircraft into the aircraft folder (Make sure you edit the aircraft titles to match) Aircraft I Used- TWA aia_b717_twa.zip - (N401TW Doesn't exist) aia_m80_twa.zip aia_dc930_twa.zip aig_b752_twa.zip aim_b762_twa.zip aia_b763er_twa.zip twe_2000_js41_pack.zip twe_2000_e145_pack.zip (Still haven't found the other TWE aircraft) Depending on amount of aircraft it can be tedious so stay patient :) - Finn

@ChoiceFS9Productions Woah thanks for the quick response! How do you install them though? I read once it was a super complicated process and thats why I never got around to it...

@tomcatpilot1 It is on Avsim-

Great job on the video. How do you get all the TWA AI? I know where to get the planes and repaints and all that, but how do you get them with the TWA routes and flightplans, etc?

Due to poor management? No.. I disagree. TWA in it's final months was a GREAT airline, it was consistently one of the best airlines to fly with.. and up until it's death, was constantly trying (and successfully) to improve.

What killed TWA was the corporate raider Carl Icahn, and his predecessor Frank Lorenzo.. may those two rot in hell.
