That commercial had great footage of BOTH the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, and, of course, the incomparable Boeing 747. It seems that TWA used the 747 on its international flights, while the L-1011 TriStar was used on its North American and Caribbean routes.

Actually TWA was betrayed by its managers.. they chose not to reinvest or make the cuts necessary to survive.. stockholders held sway in the end..

The good ole days before all the lower middle class scum started flying... man what a change...

@BettinaBalser TWA Flight 800 didn't help either... same thing with Pan Am after Lockerbie and ValuJet after its Everglades crash.

@lsnows Nothing to spoil for me the game had already been won by the 'skins at the time this aired... you can actually see it in my other video of Super Bowl XVIII postgame show. Plus the fact I wasn't even around in 1984.

The Redskins got their asses handed to them by the Raiders in that game. I think it was 38-9. Sorry to spoil the outcome.

@plsniper the good days
The same year Apple introduced their 1984 commercial - the ad that was played only once (or so they told)

@tiadaid Yes, you are right! Unfortunately, the taping of Super Bowl XVIII that was on this VHS was mostly taped over by a showing of Wizard of Oz. Otherwise, I would have a lot more of the commercials, and perhaps something to do with the famous Apple commercial (thing is it's already posted almost everywhere).

Is the Herst Castle such a big icon that it'd be given an appearance on this commercial? I'd think that the Golden Gate Bridge or something of an equal magnitude would be shown.

@scaremenga Hearst Castle you mean... I think they added it in just to show a unique landmark from the air. I also figure the coastline scenes were also from California, as well as the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The Eiffel Tower appears to be the only international scene here.
