Here is another menu from TWA’s spectacular First Class Ambassador Service. This was offered on a four hour New York to Denver flight in 1972. The aircraft was a 707-331. Some airlines have claimed that they couldn’t serve elaborate menus on their narrow bodied aircraft because the galleys were too small. Perhaps because TWA also used its 707s on international services, their galleys were of a sufficient size to support this menu…
