How did you get one? Did everyone get one? Or just first class? or?
I think there was a Wardair one kicking around my parent's house for years.
Thanks for the post Geoff! I have a couple of those from TWA, and both were not obtained in-flight as a souvenir.
The Red One (with white TWA logo) was purchased at a TWA city ticket office in Chicago. The other one I received from TWA vacations, as a premium for purchasing a package to Hawaii in 1987. That one is beige with a red TWA logo.
That 1987 trip to Hawaii was memorable. I recall for only $100 r/t, you could upgrade your airfare on that vacation package to "Ambassador Class" (business class), which is what I did. An outstanding flight STL-HNL on a 747. I believe it was my first experience in business class. Had I paid $200, I could have upgraded to premium first class. Those were the days!
