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

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 the Bombardier CS100/300 until Airbus took over the program so the plane could be built in the United States to circumvent tariffs placed on foreign aircraft, almost immediately after, TWA began talks with the Airbus/Bombardier consortium and later placed an order for around 100 A220-100/A220-300 aircraft total, and also hinted the airline would add more options should the aircraft impress them. The first A220-100 entered service in March 2018, and was immediately a hit with passengers. The airline has since rapidly expanded its fleet, and introduced the A220-300 in January 2020.

If you want to make N93119 it's rather simple...

(1)- Find the base pic for the FD Scale 747-100,

then,

(2)- Paint it in the TWA 747-400 livery seen here

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 last McDonnell-Douglas designed aircraft in the fleet, and is set to be retired by 2022 as the airline takes on more A220s.

A bit of a hiatus on my part, but now that school is done and I have motivation for this again I'll be doing this is some IRL stuff (such as my unfinished TWA 727s and 747s for IRL)

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 -800neos but switched them to 7 more -900s. TWA would become the North American launch customer of the type, first flying it in late 2019, and currently has a fleet of 11 A330-900neos out of an order of 25, with options of for 10 more in the future which will likely replace the oldest A330ceos in the fleet.
