TWA 747-100 Flight Rome (FCO) to New York (JFK) Takeoff, cruise, landing, taxi in 

The 90's was the last great decade for aviation and music. Everything blended so perfectly

This was everything I love - a 747/100, a beautiful approach over Rhode Island and Cape Cod, down over Long Island….perfect! And it makes me very sad that I’ll never get the chance to experience this for myself - I live in the Scottish highlands and I’ve wanted to visit the USA for ages. I love classic airliners and now that I’m 44 and my 3 kids have grown up, I have missed the chance to experience a trip in one.

wow this was amazing, concorde, jumbo, and tristar all in one video and the reverse thrust was rumbling, I love hearing those 4 engines belch

These JT9Ds almost make me want to cry. I love the sound so much

Wonderful piece of history captured here! Please don’t ever delete this video. 😊

My dad said that he used to board one of these TWA 747-100's back in those times. And he sat on the upper deck.

Wow just pure heaven the sound of those old Pratt & Whitney engines are so soothing and classic and had been working for almost 30 year at the time. You dont hear those sounds again, its sad as this flight is the return flight outbound flight to JFK in conjunction with FLT 800. Nearly a year 4 days to the date of that awful night..Its bittersweet

15:52. that landing deserved a standing ovation! Smooth as silk!!

Thanks for bringing back memories of my school trip to Spain in 1994, on TWA. I flew TWA flights 904 (JFK-MAD) and 903 (MAD-JFK), both 747-131s (my first 747s ever). I was 19, just about to graduate high school, and someone at the school paid my way as my grad present. I still remember the whole trip like it happened yesterday. I also remember the TWA Flight Center terminal at JFK, how could I ever forget it?

Hi Vincent, THANK YOU for this video; I was 20 in 1985, my Father had been employed with TWA for nearly 30 years as Flight Dispatcher and retired in the late '70s; as his son, I had a magic TWA plastic card, a Company pass, bearing my name and the even more magical 7R classification; as such I was able to fly free (but SA - Space Available) on the whole network! In 1985, I would go to the airport (Fiumicino, FCO) by BUS (!!!) and then wait patiently for a seat to be available; as the plane was the majestic 747, a seat would always be available :-) ; I'd fly to JFK, then go to NYC somehow (a mix of bus + subway) and usually end up in Manhattan; I'd stay there for a few hours, sightseeing (or buying the latest electronic gadget 🙂), then back to the airport to catch a flight (any fight) to Europe; may be AMS, may be BRU, or MAD .... it was an experience SO thrilling, that of being able to just pick a city in Europe and then say "Today I'm going there !"; So, I boarded the TW841 FCO-JFK Flight so many times, that I lost count. But I kept all the boarding passes........ THANK YOU VINCENT, for this video, I didn't have a camera with me in 1985 (and video tape recording would have been prohibitively expensive for the normal person back then) so, I can relive those moments once again, today, almost 40 years later. THANK YOU !!!!

This video is epic! Especially at the end when the British airways Concorde flight takes off. Holy smokes that thing was fast!

I got to fly on a couple 100s and 200s during a trip to Bangkok back in the 90s. Those airplanes were living and breathing in a way that’s tough to describe…

THIS IS THE REAL PLANE 747 forever the queen

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I really do miss TWA. The L-1011 at the end retired just a few months after this video was taken and shortly after that the 747 was retired too. Those were some great airplanes!

Flew on a TWA 747-100 JFK-CDG-MUC nine years prior and possibly on this plane! Very cool!

Great video. My wife and I flew JFK-FCO return in February 1998 on a TWA 767-200 in "Trans World One." Great flights but wish it could have been on the classic "741."

WHAT A MEMORABLE TREAT! TWA and Concorde and seeing the beautiful TWA terminal again. I thought it was an error in stating the 747 as a 100 series as one would be hard-pressed in finding one flying anymore. Thanks for the vid!

Takes me back.

My first flight ever was on TWA on an L1011 from LGA to PBI in 1988....My first international flight was in 1994 on TWA 800 JFK-CDG on the 747-131. Ive been able to get inside the shuttered TWA Flight Center a few times over the past several years...its an amazing building thats literally frozen in time!

this video will never get old (:

In ‘86 I was a new hire Flight Engineer at TWA. I met a Captain who was a First Officer on the inaugural 747 flight Rome to JFK. Big party, lots of press, many by the fence near the runways end. Hot and heavily loaded the jet ( we called her the Whale) used every bit of runway. He recalled all these people scattering away as they lifted off. Great story but: 25 or so years later I was having dinner with my son in law’s Italian aunt. Without knowing my background she told me how she was on the inaugural TWA 747 flight Rome to JFK. Told me of the party and fanfare. I asked: Was it hot that day? Oh Yes! Did the 747 take a long time to lift off? We didn’t think it was ever going to!

Buzzsaw sounds like a fridge or a transformer JT9Ds sound aweosme

I would've loved to have had the opportunity to fly TWA

Love the sound of the Pratts JT9D,excellent video!!

Awesome footage. Thank you for uploading.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this blast from the past..........

Amazing footage - thank you for posting this. Crazy to think that 800 happened a year before, same aircraft. That plane was an absolute beast. Glad to see the L-1011 still in service - it must have been retired months or even weeks after this - I think all were gone by the middle/end of ‘97. And the Concorde. Ugh! Take me back. ❤️

This is really good stuff thanks for uploading it.

The 747series even the 747-100's were great to fly on.Roomy,very unclaustrophobic,comfortable.And the lovely humming whine of those pratt and whitney engines on take off was unmistakable.Another era.!.

Beautiful video! Thanks for share!

Beautifully done.

Spending my summers in Rome (Ostia) throughout the 90s I distinctly remember TWA 747s taking off and making that Left right over the beach at around 10am... TWA841 iirc. There was a Pan Am one that left within an hour of the TWA Pan AM 111, both bound for JFK.

Great video! Thank you for posting! I worked for TWA for 17 years at the LAX Reservation Center. I miss those days!

Great memories. I took the very same flight JFK/FCO Leonardo da Vinci and back. Wonderful memories. It was the early or mid 90s, I believe. Thanks for sharing.

It's great to see a twa flight

I'm watching this video 'cause I miss traveling so bad!!

I took this flight back to New York after a opera contract. It was great, the stewards were so nice. I remember we hit an air pocket and a Stewardess named Eileen was coming down the isle carrying trays of little cake squares. They jumped off the cart onto the floor, and I sprang into action to help her get them up. She said in a loud and firm voice " I'll get it...I'll get it. Bless you Eileen, where ever you are...I hope you are well retired by now. Luckily you were not on flight 800 that was mistakenly shot down on its way to Paris.

I enjoyed this same view many times when flying on Pan Am's Clipper Class. Too bad I didn't have a camera then that worth a darn. All I had was a crappy Kodak Disc Camera.

Wow that was a long ass take off roll

No HD back in those days, but great video!

I sure do miss That Wonderful Airline! I was fortunate to fly may times as a kid in 1970s and 80s on TWA PHX/JFK/CDG on both L1011s and 747 I remember the super friendly flight crews and just how well we as passengers felt taken care of from check in to picking up bags in baggage claim man things have really changed.

Ohhh the memories of flying to Italia with my family on TWA always, out of atl on the MD80 and then the mighty 747 into Rome, and then they retired the 747 and used the horrible 767-200 which I hated, but my father insisted we fly Tdub as he called it, we only flew TWA. Those were the days.

Oh the 747-100 and TWA. In June of 1996 my family and I flew TWA1 and TWA2 to Honolulu and back. I can still hear those Pratt’s screaming down the runway. A few weeks later, 800 happened and I’ve always been horrified if any of the crew on my flights were on 800.

Why do Americans criticize when other passengers clap upon landing ? I love that Italians clap 👏 upon landing.

So nice.

Is this the exact type of 747 twa that crashed

Were you anxious when you got on board remembering the incident that happened in 96.

I worked at TWA back in 1959 when the B-707 was tops. My pal, Larry Cosgrove flew for TWA and retired in about 1996. I lost contact with Larry and was saddened to learn he passed away in 2000.. We both learned to fly at Zahns Airport back in the day. I wonder if Larry ever married?

Wow you can clearly hear the sound of a guy winding up and shooting a disposable camera. That sure brings ya back... I bet the camcorder the guy filmed this on was the size of a brick haha.

As you flew over Long Island on final I spotted what I thought was Nassau Coliseum and I was right! I used to watch aircraft on final 1962 - 1972 from Hicksville!

Doing that myself next summer

Republic was just across the Southern State Parkway to the North. Zahn's is gone but Republic Field is still there I think,

De que años es vuelo aROMA.ITALIA CUALES SOM EL CAPITAN

Butter or Ryanair?

Damn I miss the sound of those engines

Is that Patchogue?

Reminds me of TWA flight-800, the accident happened around new york.

Too bad the plane didn't land from the other side cause I wouldve loved to have seen the Twin Towers of the World Train Center. :-( And if I might add....BOOOOOOO!!!!Nassau Coliseum at 11:45!! Let's Go Rangers!!!!

Did y’all have any entertainment in the flight like small tv screens on top of the seat where you can watch movies. I know these days a lot of flights have that especially American Airlines.

hi is the 747 100 still flying the 1 and last time i was in a 747 200 in that was in the 2990

12 días después de las vacaciones del verano en las calles y de los alrededores

7:00 hey thats Montauk, long island. I can see my house from there 😂

Sound of a disposable camera taking pictures starting at 2:08

year 2000

That's the same ticking time bomb that operated for TWA 800.

unfortunately no meals service shown and beverages

747-200 that

sorry 1990

I was born in the wrong generation, I guess. (2002)

oh the old whale; great airplane to fly; easiest of any to land, a real Cadillac

American Airlines is going out of biz by January 2024!
