Since 2017 TWA had been courted by both Airbus and Boeing to replace their older 767s with either the 787 or the A330neo. Seeing as how they had been operating the A330 for years and that it was cheaper to operate and train pilots, TWA opted for the A330-900neo. TWA originally had an order for 10 -8...

TWA has operated the 717 since 1999, and at one point had 50 in service. The 717 became a pioneer in the point-to-point service the airline industry experimented with pre-Pandemic, along with the 757. However the airline has suffered from operating too many aircraft types, and the 717 is now the las...

N815AJ is the last salvageable, intact CV-880 in existence. It has been at the Mohave Air & Space Port for quite some time, and is currently owned by Scroggins Aviation. The owner has in recent years tried to pawn the aircraft off to various museums to no avail, and it is very much in danger of scra...

I did this instead of study finals TWA 717s. Ordered in the late 1990s, delivered 1999-2001, all the way up until they were absorbed into AA. Total of 30 were delivered out of 50 orders, and TWA had options for 50 more. AA would operate them until 2003 when they were sold to AirTran, some also went ...

The A220 is slated to become the backbone of TWA's short haul fleet, having replaced many 717s and A319s/A320s along with the A320neo. The introduction of the A220 has allowed TWA to replace regional jets as well, which are incredibly inefficient and bad for the environment. The A220 was originally ...

Now those three are beautiful beasts. I know that these ones were real, not AU, but do you think that you could try making the 747-100 and -200 in the TWA livery? Just a thought.
Yes, I plan on doing some more IRL TWA planes in the near future

TWA ordered the 747-400 in the 1980s, and was one of the consulting airlines involved with the aircraft's design. The 747-400 was ordered to replace the aging 747-100 on many Pacific and a few Trans-Atlantic routes from New York and Chicago. TWA had been an early 747 operator, and had been the flags...

Ozark has operated the A320neo since 2015, and will replace most of their A320s and A319s to, in the future, be the backbone of their fleet. To coincide with the introduction of the A320neo, a new livery was released the following year to replace the older, what some described as "bland" paint schem...

TWA was one of the first customers to sign onto the 777 program in the 1990s, although it would defer its own orders until 2001, as such its first use of the 777-200 was when it took over United's 10 777s. United operated the first 777, N777UA, which became the flagship 777 of the new merged TWA-UA ...
