To: USS Alaska
The airport Hilton in St Louis is a TWA shrine.
Every room, hallway, entry and restaurant/bar feature large pictures of the TWA fleet at its finest.
Lots of Constellation pix...

My mother's first airplane flight--and her first visit to another US state--was aboard a TWA Super Constellation bound for Kansas City in 1959. At the time, most airliners were piston-driven, but there were a few jets in service, and man, were they noisy.
