The Boeing 747 is a large, wide-bodied airliner manufactured by Boeing Aircraft Company. In April, 1966, Pan American ordered 25 of the first 747's, the 747-100. In late 1966, Pratt & Whitney agreed to develop its JT9D, a high bypass turbofan engine. On September 30, 1968, the first 747 was rolled out of the Everett, Washington plant. The first flight took place on February 09, 1969, and the 747 was certified in December of that year. There were a total of 167 Boeing 747-100's manufactured.Trans World Airlines (TWA) was a major American Airlines whic operated from 1930 to 2001. It began as Transcontinental and Western Air in July of 1930. Howard Hughes gained control of the airline in 1939 and maintained control until the 1960's. In January of 2001, TWA was acquired by American Airlines. The airline had 25 of the 747-100's in service from 1970 to 2000.
This aircraft with registration number N93108, had its first flight on 19 April, 1970. It was subsequently delivered to TWA on 07 May, 1970. It flew under TWA colors until the late1990's when the aircraft ceased passenger service and was scrapped (how very sad).
This Hogan Wings 1:200 scale solid resin reproduction of that aircraft is a rare and beautiful highly detailed model, with excellent vintage Trans World Airline graphics. It requires only minimal assembly.

. The model also comes with a display stand. All sales are final. Shipping to the continental USA only.
Note: This is a rare and difficult model to find and being offered at a very good price. A great buy for a Trans World Airlines collector or any aviation enthusiast's collection. This is the only one available.
