I thought that was cool. You can't see name or numbers, but does anyone recoginze it? That is kind of an unusal plane to put on the website, but maybe it is a tribute to TWA. Probably not though.

Lambert has always had a pretty shoddy web page. Even when they re-did their sorely outdated old webpage, they ripped the pages from it. It wouldn't surprise me if that L-1011 was the first image off a google image search.
It's funny because that picture is indicative of how the airport has been ran and abused the past 20 years. Everything that Lambert seems to do, they don't do it 100%. If St. Louis wants to live up to its full potential as an airport and a regional center of commerce, everything needs to be done better than before. Hopefully the new regime will change the old, frustrating ways..........

Quoting TVNWZ (Reply 7): Ding!!! Ding!!! Ding!!! We have a winner. It has been on the site before as a....TW plane.
They probably should replace the picture with an AA widebody plane,,,oh wait, thats right,, AA does not fly widebodies to STL... Probably why they photo-shopped the TWA plane blue-- I guess they could put a Fed-Ex DC10 on the page.

Thanks for the help. I wish I could fly at L1011 out of or to STL. I remember once flying a TWA L1011 from STL to ORD and back, 1990 or 91. I can't imagine using a plane like that anymore on such a short hop. It was close to full. It is a shame that STL is no longer a hub. Only SWA and NWA offer DTW-STL non-stop. I go to STL all the time and like to fly different airlines, but now I fly only NWA, they usually have the best price, and I go out of my way to fly on DC-9s one day they will be gone and I will miss them like I miss TWA and dad misses OZARK My dad and I flew TWA right up to the end.

I hear you, my first L1011 flight was TWA STL-LGA when I was kid, full plane as well, full breakfast served in coach, TWA first class service. Flying today is not the same.
