Vintage film showing the inside workings of an airline. Few cuts in the beginning but cleans up. It features a TWA Super Constellation named Star of Paris (N86511) which on February 5, 1946, inaugurated the first scheduled commercial air service across the Atlantic. The first flight from Washington DC to Paris, Charles De Gaulle airport was fourteen hours, 48 minutes. en.wikipedia.org www.twaflightattendants.com

A absolutely great movie. Thank you very much.
Good eye man
I grew up on TWA, My Dad joined TWA in 35 as a salesman working with Jack Frye in St.Louis. When he went to war, Jack sent him a Hamilton wristwatch, which I still have. In 49 TWA sent him to Cairo,Egypt as DSM, then in 51 London, Eng. as head of TWA in England .Since I was born I had unlimited free trans. all over the world. At the age of 7 had over 100K mi. on Connies. and was in the London times as the youngest passenger with the most miles at that time. Longest trip 22 hrs 14 min. LON/LAX.
This is what i call realy flying…These guyz flew long ranges with VOR’s…Respect for that…
From a former Flying Tiger pilot, and son of a TWA Flight Engineer who flew the Connie, great film. Thanks for sharing it.
Our hostesses – two good girls…L O L
WOW cool video see my video response above !
Ahh the good ol’ days !!

6 hours 45 mins. I did that flight yesterday.
Checked it out @ bing and found those increidable photos, whats’ more amazeing is no one badly hurt or killed.
He’s a youtube-partner
Well i saw on 3:04 that the registration was PH-TFF.. then i knew it was a dutch plane.. then i just randomly made a search for PH-TFF, and found out it crashed in 1952.. Try search for PH-TFF on Google; then there will come up a page called “Conniesurvivors” where’s theres pictures and information about the crash. Kinda sad to see pictures of a crashed plane you just saw being build in another video.
Excelente documental, me encantaría volar uno de esos !!!
wait how did you do 22 minutes when YouTube ONLY allows 10 minutes?
How did you find THAT out?!?!
Omg, i just found out that the plane being build at 3:04, PH-TFF, was the aircraft that crashed at Bangkok airport in 1952 :O
wow, lovely..Is this from a public domain site, if it is what a find..
My favourite airline is Air France. I flew on Boeing 777 – 300 s with them to Tokyo return from Paris and South Africa return from Paris. Beautiful plane and wonderful service with dignity and style that the French are good at.
I will always love flying and airoplanes. I remember seeing these planes at Dublin airport when I was young. They came in from the States.
I once flew on a Basel Air DC6B from Basel-Geneva return. It was in superb spotless condition. The old piston engines gave a lovely roar and smoked on start up. It was crowded, so the take off took a long time and was gradual !!
This is wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for all your trouble. Modern planes are much better; but I wish we could have that service!! Low frill carriers in Europe treat you like dirt now!! I admit they brought the prices down. From Ireland to England I now drive and use the car ferries Dublin-Holyhead return.
Ah, the glory days of aviation… if they could only return.
TWA… you will always be remembered.
Wow, KLGA (La Guardia) before it’s runways were extended!
wow this is cool.
