Parked at the Hamilton ramp

Making turn to align with 18 at DCA.

Delivered new to Trans World Airlines in March 1979. Seen at ORD six months later.

This is a much photographed aircraft as it subsequently wore a special colour scheme for the St Louis Rams football team.

This 727 was delivered to TWA in 2.80 and wfu at Kansas City just over 20 years later. The Legend DC-9 is N923LG, now in service with Air Gemini as D2-ERS. What I hadn't noticed until just now is the remains of the old R Thai AF C-123 Provider 64357 tucked away between the sheds on the left - I first shot that there in 1979!

Seen literally days before the infamous hijacking, this is the very aircraft which was seized by Hezbollah terrorists here at Athens for 17 days from 14.6.85 while operating TW847 to Rome. Wfu on 30.9.00 after performing TWA's last 727 revenue flight and ferried to Victorville with 63803 hours/42502 landings; b/u 5.02
