Back to the 90’s (Fall Airport Update) Oct 27 Written By Pierce Houghton (1:200 scale) An ASA CRJ-200 taxis in the foreground while a TWA Tristar begins its takeoff roll. TWA and AA jets, shortly after the American Trans World merger. TWA took delivery of the then new 717 and AA the 777-200. Delta jets with a diverse set of liveries (circa 2000). Near the end of the life of the Tristar’s presence in global aviation. Delta Trijets from above. Northwest 757-300 loads up, while a United Express BAE-146 pushes back. Note the experimental livery on the NWA DC-9-50 in the background. Closeup shot of the United Express BAE-146 pushing back. Quite a remarkable regional jet. A United 777-200 in the iconic Battleship Grey livery gets ready for a trip to Tokyo. A Lufthansa 747-400 has just arrived from Frankfurt. Golden hour TWA 757-200. Cozy and warm vibes with this America West “Cactus” 757-200 wearing its final livery, alongside a navy blue US Airways 767-200, foreshadowing their corporate merger in the coming years. More TWA action. A Northwest Experimental DC-9-50. Pierce Houghton
