Thank you. I really hesitated to use this song because it has been "over used" by almost everyone who makes a video about TWA - but nothing else fit. I spend almost as much of my time trying to pick the right tune as editing the video.

You picked the right song for this tribute as the cover of Frank Sinatra's album, "Come Fly with Me" (song recorded in Oct, '57) sported a TWA 1649A "Jetstream" Starliner Constellation in the background!

My family and I flew quite a few times on TWA. Most of the flights were domestic. But we went to Great Britain on TWA in 1988. On the return trip home to America, we had a stopover in Los Angeles, where we had to go through Customs. After we boarded our flight to San Francisco, we were surprised to see a Los Angeles Dodgers game in progress on the movie screen while the airplane was still at the gate. But we were glad when the game had to be turned off before our flight left. Such memories.

It is this video "Come Fly With Us" I asked you for clarification of the F/A shown between '0031 and '0039. Can you help? I would appreciate it so much.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. The uniform was called the "cut-out was designed by Howard Greer and influenced in its design by the French fashion expert Christian Dior. You might want to contact Clipped Wings and see if they have any records about who is pictured in the photographs. Your parents were part of TWA's exciting years. Lucky you!

Thank you so much. I have a uniform of my mothers that looks exactly like (1.07). She flew DC3s. Married a pilot that looks incredibly like my Dad (1.30) he is pictured on the rightI believe. They are sadly both gone now, but I have wonderfulmemories of them . Thank you. Would like to find a pic. of Mom- Mary Jane Haden. She went by the name Janie. Both parents were based in MCI. |
