Wow!

I flew this route on this fine aircraft many times. Miss the wide bodies for domestic flights.

I would do anything to travel back in time and get to experience the golden era of aviation, just seems like companies actually cared more for their customers. Instead the big 3 monopolies we are left with today.

18:00 an elevator on a plane!

Back when you could fly anywhere from STL. TWA was amazing.

I was ready to see my self, unfortunately i didn't appeared;(

I used to put pennies (coin) on the tracks

Dobbs!! Worst airline food ever.

Lot of history sitting there. Lots of stories from the operators... sad to see it like this but as in everything it all has a limited LIFE...

This makes me very SAD!

Cool!

Thank you!

👍

I live here

Back when 1050 KGTO was Big Band... wow!

I miss KVOO. The Bull, or whatever they're calling 98.5, just isn't the same.

Any meal service?

I worked for Midway Airlines for two years up to the time they went under. I worked in their data center. I really like working there although some of the people in I.T. were not all that great. I did learn a new computer platform and was able to fly free on my off time. When they shut down they owed me nearly $700 bucks in back pay. Once everything was settled I only got $17 bucks. It was a fun job while I stilled lived at home. Good memories.

I just was born in 1991 while this guy was already flying into the sky. I love to see this type of old memories videos ❤ what was happening while I was a recently new born baby 🎉

I've had plenty of passenger time in these, worse is the DC-4 which if they came down rather quickly resulted in terrible ear pain!

OMG. The grimming engine. 💙💙💙💙

It seems terrible that the fire engine was destroyed on its first run.

The sound of that engine scares the H.E. Double Toothpicks out of me! 😮 I know, I know. I'm not naive, I've flown on first generation 747s across the Atlantic Ocean and some the sounds would scare me also (I was around 8 years old) The landing gear going down when you weren't expecting it is one. Sometimes breaking after landing sounded like worn brake pads scraping on metal to metal. The feel of the speed breaks when it was getting ready to land freaked me out. I forget which G.E. engine on modern planes are the ones that sound awesome. They also made engines on s lot of older Boeing models, I want to say 727s that sounded awesome. But this engine, the entire trip sounded like someone was strangling geese with their bare hands! 😂 But really, it lacks thar " Bass Sound" that puts me, and I'm sure a lot of people at ease because the engines sound strong and healthy! This one doesn't. And I'm sure these engines are awesome, strong and healthy. It's just that the sound doesn't calm me. 😂

Retired number 11 in the company. I retired 737 CA SWA 24500 hrs tt. My dad beat me with over 26400 hours! Even though I flew 31 years They flew more, worked harder!!!!

N. L. Lupinek had 6000 hours in DC-3’s

My dad flew that. N.L. Lupinek

This is a fun video, however it looks better in 2024 than it did in 1994 / it’s more Route 66 oriented now with new businesses everywhere, the new entrance to TU is off of 11th St. and the intersection of 11th and Lewis has been completely redone and new businesses, such as the mother road market, new cool apartments, LED and neon lighting Reinstalled on many of the businesses both old and new // Chapman Field at Skelly Stadium has been renovated

This is a tragedy that is way beyond imagination and way beyond sad , Even though this happened before I was born , My thoughts and prayers go out to all the fallen and injured victims My dad used to work for Gulf oil and one night he was watching a disaster documentary on some of the worst disasters that happened in the world , The Texas City disaster was profiled on the show and my dad called me to the TV set and seeing that footage , I was totally stunned and speechless and the narrator of the show said that officials were suspicious that it was caused by a discarded cigarette aboard the SS Grandcamp , My dad was stunned and speechless too and he taught me about how to handle and store gasoline and other flammable materials and the show made me realize how terrible a gasoline fire is This is definitely worse than the Chicago fire back in the late 1800s They were saying that the death toll was around 600 people dead but I'll bet it was over 1000 because of the intense fires , I'll bet that alot of bodies were literally creamated , The death toll in the Chicago fire was around 300 and it took at least a week to get the fires put out I felt really sad that all those innocent people had passed away and many others were badly injured My dad kept reminding me that they're in a better place , In God's heaven May God's love always be with all the fallen victims and their families and friends , Especially all the firemen , Rescue workers , Doctors and all the rest who rendered help God bless all of them for what they went through on that tragic day and that they will never be forgotten I pray that a tragedy like this will never happen again

I've never been to the USA, but have become obsessed with watching videos of the E9's, especially the Burlington ones. The USA built so many beautiful streamlined diesel locos from the 1930's to the 1950's, but there's something indefinably special about the E series. They are more than just locos, they are moving pieces of design art

Businesses are doing better and I didn’t see anyone begging for money. Where as today you see multiple people begging for money even on 71st street. Great song choice too! I was born in 1992, I was only 2 years old when this video was filmed. The 90’s were the best! #Sad #VanceTrump2024

I’m sure I was on my way to my girlfriends house about that time just graduated. Love the Vince gill song btw we had a garage band at that time and this song was one of the ones we played. Brought back major memories. Thank you!

Great video. It’s like we are there experiencing this like u did. I was a teen in 91 but was well acquainted with both Lambert and Sky Harbor airports. I was only able to fly twice on TWA L1011 from PHX to Vegas and back in 89. It’s so sad to see the once mighty Lambert field reduced to Southwest 737’s and other smaller jets and lots of empty space. I remember Lambert used to be filled with Jumbos and no empty space!

Wow, I loved working on this aircraft! I miss my TWA family!

These planes were reliable and tough. The commies make em retire too soon. They could still be serving in some areas

It hasn't changed dramatically since '94. I remembered the McDonald's before you got to Harvard, but had forgotten about the KFC on the south side of the street. Probably the biggest changes here were the restaurants on the north side that were torn down when TU bought the streetside properties. . Now if somebody had done this in 1974 or better yet 1954, it would really be fascinating!

I am from Montgomery!

1:41 2:44 Music to the ears of anyone who loves Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines, like I do

I work in Sapulpa and grew up in the area. Crazy to see how things have changed! I would’ve been three when this was filmed.

Lol it looks about the same today

I flew Capital Airlines several times as a child from Albuquerque, NM to Washington D.C. and it was always so much fun being on the "Connie" which was my favorite plane.

I worked in the corporate office of Wehrenberg for 35 years. The property was worth more than the Drive ins income each year as with the case of all of them. All the drive ins were opened in the late 40's when land was cheap

yo i remember this sapulpa, i grew up here, i was 10 in this video.. live here still today.

They were a cool airline. Thanks for this piece of nostalgia.

Late 60's till early 70's I remember flying was a big deal for my mom- she would dress up and always put in a suit. Great times!

Dude this made me tear up!!! I was 14 with all the hope in the world …. #GenX.

Circle K, Git n' Go, before QT took over completely.

The engine tone changes, as if it suggests to you the glory of that time

Drove by that arbys today theyre remodeling it and theyre probably gonna tear down the classic sign

1:55 TWA L1011 begins its pushback from the gate and the Safety Demonstration Video begins (Audio Only - Video is available on KZbin) 10:54 TWA L1011 rolling takeoff from the St Louis Lambert Field Runway I hear a lot of passengers coughing in the background. Was the flu epidemic still going around?
