Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and traveled safely on airlines other than TWA.

Let’s take a look at some email I’ve received lately.

First off is Andre at TriSta500.net, a great website dedicated to the L1011-500.  Even though he doesn’t have any TWA-specific info, he sends along the TWA L-1011 Cabin Plan from an old issue of the OAG: (Click for larger version.)

Thanks, Andre for sending that along! And check out his great website.

Up next is Pete asking about a jeep.  Here’s his email:

Howdy,

I am buying this jeep from a fella in Woodland Hills.  I would like to research where it might have come from or where it was used.  Rumor has it Mr. Hughes had ordered three of these.  Do you have any thoughts as to where I could start checking?

Extremely Rare 2 wheel drive Red Fire Inspector TWA / AA CJ Jeep.  Has only driver’s seat and a special gas tank in the interior.  Very low miles, under 30,000 and under 350 hours on a four cylinder engine.  Running condition. Special heavy duty rear suspension and airport rear wheels and tires. 1969 CJ No top

And here is the picture he sent along:

Well, Pete, I’m not sure on that one.  If it’s a 1969 Jeep, as in your description, that was 8 years after Howard Hughes left TWA, so I don’t think that’s it.

If anyone has information, send it to comments@twahistory.com and I’ll forward it on to Pete.

Finally, we have S.M.D. who asks:

I would love to hear the late ’60s commercial “Up, Up & Away…T-W-A” based upon the 5th Dimension song. I used to work on the TWA computer processing account at that time and I loved that commercial. Any chance that you could find a copy and upload it to your website? That would be much appreciated.

Well, S.M.D., I don’t have it, but hopefully someone out there does.

Keep those letters coming!  If you have a question, or even has some TWA memorabilia you would love to share with others, send me an email!
