Goodbye TWA Trans World Airlines St Louis, JFK, MD80, Boeing 717, 757, TWExpress

This video represents where my interest in aviation begun. I had been a fan of TWA since my very first flight in 1988.When I heard of their takeover in 2000, I made one final trip in early 2001 to St Louis to film as much as I could to preserve memories of TWA. I made a DVD called Flying Into History and have since continued my '"Flying" set of videos, but this is where it all began, and I learned a lot about the do's and dont's of filming. I have many regrets of what I could have filmed, but I've had lots of lovely comments about this video. I have some footage of 707's including a full takeoff captured in audio. There's loads more about this on my website. I hope you enjoy.

@twaladybug Thank you for your kind comment. Thanks for taking time to watch my #TWA video I do appreciate it. TWA was a fine airline with a huge amount of history. It was because of TWA that I became interested in aviation.

@TWTR4EVER So Glad you moved on without Malice & Bitterness, It broke my Heart when they Terminated you!, But Amtrack certainly hit the Jackpot when you joined their ranks!

@TWTR4EVER I'm hugely grateful to read your comments, especially as a former employee of TWA. I've had many people message me over the years from TWA and appreciate every single one.
