Coming off the heals of the recent post of TWA’s L1011 Safety Video, I present the TWA 747 Safety video, courtesy of ptarr767.

According to this post at the AirlinersGallery.com, the Museum of Flight in Washington State has purchased the TWA DC-2.

Good to see that a classic plane will have a great home!

I present TWA’s L-1011 Safety Video..

By the way, for those of you looking for a decent “YouTube-like” service, but with better quality, I recommend Vimeo. The quality of the video is not degraded unlike YouTube.

Well, we’re back from Southern California, and had a great time.  Got to hang out with the wife for our 7th wedding anniversary, went to Disneyland to ride the new Finding Nemo Submarine Ride, went deep-sea fishing, and also went to the LA Airline Memorabilia show.

I did pick up a few TWA items.  Mostly schedules, though.  They did have some nice TWA models, though.  I had my eye on a TWA L1011, and even had purchase authority from the wife, but really wouldn’t have space to display it in my current office, so it will just have to wait until I have a bigger house.

Today’s update is TWA’s schedule from May 1992.  The major news in this one is TWA’s announced service to Moscow, via Brussels.  Not sure how successful this was, though, since it didn’t seem to stay around too long.  According to a TWA Skyliner issue I have talking about it, it was using a 727-232.

I’ve included the handy-dandy gate maps that they included in the back of this schedule.

and boy, are my arms tired. Okay, stupid joke.

The wife and I arrived today in Los Angeles.  We’re actually going to be staying by Disneyland until Monday, doing the LA thing:  Disneyland, deep sea fishing, and eating at some great restaurants.

Just wanted to give a shout-out if anyone else is going to be going to the Los Angeles Airline Memorabilia Show on June 9th.  Still hoping to pick up some more TWA schedules there, and see what else I can find.

If anyone else is going to be there, leave a comment and maybe we can say “Hey!”
