I once traveled the world on those legends known affectionately as TWA and Pan Am. They're now as lost as the Titanic but with a sad difference. Titanic is buried two miles below the North Atlantic in a hallowed place. The remains of those two grand airlines are now scattered across the planet; for sale as collectible trinkets and souvenirs. It's undignified, unfitting and unconscionable. Life goes on though.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />NLA FactorNo Longer a Factorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953669395261857717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488244694314662923.post-28119374050354836782012-01-05T10:16:42.427-05:002012-01-05T10:16:42.427-05:00YES...........THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL...........TAKEN...YES...........THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL...........TAKEN OUT WITH ONE SWIPE...................getjetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470962723603116261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488244694314662923.post-71309686618567612942011-11-12T14:59:57.416-05:002011-11-12T14:59:57.416-05:00Love this Post!!!!

I can just imagine the cockpit conversation about their pending merger. <br /><br />I never took a FAM with Ozark but I had a couple of great rides with TWA! If you haven't read it, see my post titled "Easy" back in the archives somewhere. It was probably the best FAM I ever took. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />NLAFNo Longer a Factorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953669395261857717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488244694314662923.post-51676177166832752982011-11-08T20:32:39.265-05:002011-11-08T20:32:39.265-05:00Ozark and TWA shared STL airport as a hub for thei...Ozark and TWA shared STL airport as a hub for their lifespan. Took a FAM trip from CLT to STL on Ozark on my Friday and returned returned on my Monday on TWA. Their merger occurred over my weekend.

I am fascinated by it though, and can still remember many of the other airlines that vanished during my life on the boards. Companies like New York Air, Piedmont, Texas Air, Ozark, Air Florida, Republic, and others used to crowd onto our finals during the rush periods. They're gone now but I can still 'see' them clearly, lined up in the departure queues. <br /><br />Take care!No Longer a Factorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953669395261857717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488244694314662923.post-45875748981644225182011-11-08T10:27:37.036-05:002011-11-08T10:27:37.036-05:00Grew up in St. Louis county, left to serve in the ...Grew up in St. Louis county, left to serve in the USN in the mid sixties. Spent the afternoon in KSTL ATCT and talked to the crew on duty about the new runway and the lack of traffic. TWA was an icon along with the others referred to in your post. <br /><br />Enjoy your observations, <br />AC2USNAC2USNnoreply@blogger.com
