Trans World
Airlines Boeing 767-231(ER)
N601TW (c/n 22564)
In the early 1980s TWA ordered ten of the
Extended Range Boeing 767s for their overseas
routes. The airline had filed for bankruptcy in 1992
to gain some breathing room, and in 1993
finally ousted
control of the company from Carl Icahn. A new livery was devised
in the mid 1990s
as seen in the
nice image above by Frank C. Duarte Jr. of N601TW, landing at LAX in
July of
1998. This aircraft was TWA's first 767, being delivered at
the end of 1982. Although it was
still active
when
TWA's assets were purchased by American Airlines in 2001, it was sold to
Cameroon
Airlines as TJ-CAD. AA did not retain TWA's 767s.
