Las Vegas, August 1995. Our MD-82 N909TW at LAS. The MD-80s were the workhorses of our St. Louis hub, flying folks all over the country day in and day out. #FlyTWA

Pittsburgh, April 1940. One of our Douglas Sleeper Transports, the DC-3's overnight cousin, at Allegheny County Airport. Those narrow upper windows meant a real berth for crossing the country by night. #FlyTWA

London Heathrow, April 1969, looking down the side of our StarStream 707 N770TW from the rear steps. Crossing the Atlantic in style. #FlyTWA

Our first Lockheed L-1011 TriStars joined the fleet in 1972, bringing wide-body comfort to routes all across America. Here's one of ours in May 1981. Did you ever fly on one of our TriStars? #FlyTWA

In February 1985 we flew the first twin-engine 767 transatlantic service under the new ETOPS rules, and our 767s soon became regulars across the pond. Here's N602TW at Zurich that same month. #FlyTWA

Fast and sleek, our Convair 880s joined the fleet in 1961 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the speediest jets in the sky. Here's one of ours in August 1964. #FlyTWA

Our Boeing 747s brought Jumbo-sized comfort to the long hauls starting in 1970. Here's N93117 at JFK in June 1976. Did you ever fly on one of our 747s? #FlyTWA

Three engines, one red stripe, and a whole lot of short hops. Our Boeing 727 was a domestic workhorse, like N840TW here at Buffalo in October 1975. #FlyTWA

Up above the weather. In 1940 we put the Boeing 307 Stratoliner into service, the first pressurized airliner, so our passengers could cruise high over the bumps. Here's one refueling in Chicago in 1941. #FlyTWA

73 years ago this week, on October 19, 1953, our Super Constellation flew Los Angeles to New York nonstop in about eight hours. The first scheduled nonstop coast-to-coast service in the country, and the Connie carried it in style. #FlyTWA
