Trans World Airlines Boeing 727-031
N97891 (c/n 20113)
Like many of its competitors, TWA put the short
bodied 727 into service in 1964 to serve its inter-
mediate cities. Seen above in another
evocative Bob Garrard shot is this one, from a later batch
delivered in
1969, barrelling into Port Columbus International Airport in March of
1970, leaving a
trail of smoke
which clearly would be totally unacceptable today. TWA
operated 30 or so of this
model.
