I can hear the pilot saying 'we've been cleared for takeoff. Flight attendants take your seats'. I never, ever felt safer than I did when flying on TWA. I never worried. Best pilots. I am proud to have worked for this airline. Understatement.

Born & raised in St. Louis until age 12. My dad used to fly out of Lambert (as a passenger) on TWA Super "Connies" Constellations, TWA DC-7's or 8's, then TWA turbo-props, (giving away my age, lol) before the 707's started service. As a kid, loved sitting in the parking lot along Lindbergh (west side of Lambert) and watch all sorts of aircraft land, including McDonnell (later merged with Douglass and then even later bought up by Boeing) F-4 Phantoms (pre-Vietnam era) that were mostly built in St. Louis. Wonderful memories!!

Iron Horseman I was a regular plane spotter at Manchester Airport UK and the smoke and sound of the old BAC-11's still lingers with me today. And you're right. The old 737-200's were amazing and I was just twelve when I got the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of a Brittania 737. Really miss those old birds.

One of my most memorable flights was back in the early 80's on a relatively new TW 727 non-stop LAX-OKC . We had a strong tail wind and ground speed was way above 600mph. When we reached the Texas panhandle there were a group of supercell thunderstorms and the captain flew around several 50,000ft cells. Amazing flight on a beautiful bird. I can recall the details 30 years later, like it was last week!

At this point, TWA, was in terrible financial shape but their customer service was still very good and their employees treated passengers well. I really missed flying them when they folded into American. By the way, the way American treated the legacy TWA employees was just cruel. That is why, to this day, I will not fly American.

That TWA jumbo jet exploding (from static near the center fuel tank) after takeoff from New York, probably doomed a good airline into oblivion. Sad deal. Kind of like the two Concorde jet crashes leading to no more Concorde flights. Always thought, Trans World had eye-catching decals with those long red stripes running from almost nose to tail.

Ahhh, thank you for sharing these wonderful Lambert Field memories. My first flight was out of Lambert Field in August, 1968 on an Eastern Airlines DC 9 14 to EVV. I was eight years old and remember it like it was yesterday. I flew out of STL so many times on TWA, Ozark, Frontier, Britt Airways, American, Southwest, Eastern, and Air Midwest/TWA Express. It was a plane viewers dream. My favorite viewing spot was at the 94th Aerosquadron Restaurant on the north side of Runway 30R. Back in the 80s and 90s you could sit on their patio and watch the planes touchdown and takeoff, even wave at the pilots as they taxied past. The restaurant, now torn down, even had headphones at the table so that you could listen to STL ATC as you dined.....nothing like it!! I miss it so very much. Now, STL is a dead end destination, with only Southwest using it as a hub, it's so sad. It was a roaring place prior to TWA's departure. Thank you so much for posting this great video.

It amazes (and thrills me as a Missouri Native) that 19 years later, TWA is still the talk of the town. All you have to do is search out those memorable 3 letters, and you will come up with a treasure of information. TWA must have had, and still does today, the biggest fan-base of any airline!...."leading the way...TWA". =) I think if American re-branded half their flights back to TWA and did a secret study, they would find far more people wanting to fly the Trans World birds =) Especially if they had those amazing T-Dub emplyees.

+Sandra K. Marshall Sandra I could not believe my eyes when I saw the tail numbers on the TWA 727. That was the very airplane I took my captain's rating check ride on back in 1984. I also flew for Trans World Express that was a commuter feeder based out of Orange county Ca. It was a sad day when American took over. TWA was a great airline and their training program followed in the same. The cabin and flight crews were great people . Un like Delta ,American and United. Crandell ( the ceo of American) was ass#%$* that came up with the age 60 rule to get rid of the senior pilots in the higher pay scale to increase the bottom line for stock holders. I wonder how many great pilots were forced to retire that still had many good years left? This was age discrimination big time. Hope you enjoyed your career as much as I enjoyed mine. Now I operate under part 135. Not airliners but it's still flying. Have a great day.

I worked at the FBO (Midcoast Aviation) 88-92 next to the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant. The smell of prime rib would drift down to the flight line at night. Counting the L1011’s across the field was a daily ritual. 7 was the max I ever saw at one time. And 2 747’s. Best time of my life.
