The Last TWA Flight



On this day in 2001, Trans World Airlines Flight 220 landed in St. Louis 
International Airport ending 71 years of TWA operations. TWA's assets were 
purchased by American Airlines. Flight 220 was piloted by Captain Bill 
Compton. Started in 1930, TWA three times filed for bankruptcy during its 
history, the last just prior to its acquisition by American.
