TWA Balsa Glider Plane

Past TWA employee

As a former TWA employee, I’ve always felt that those of us who worked for TWA are part of a lifelong family. After 25 years, that bond is still strong. I recently organized a gathering and purchased some gliders to use as centerpieces, but I was disappointed by the experience. I had to practically beg for a discount—even after showing my TWA ID to verify my connection to the airline. While I understand that the hotel is no longer officially TWA, many of us former employees still feel a deep connection to it and would love to host more events there. However, the prices are simply too high, especially for many of our members who are on fixed incomes. It’s unfortunate, because we would truly love to celebrate our TWA legacy at this beautiful location if it were more affordable and welcoming to the TWA family.

happy camper!

The birthday boy loved-loved-loved all the TWA products. Since he could not be at the hotel for his birthday due to Covid, it was the next best thing!

The balsa wood planes were cheaply made, but I ordered them for my adult sons' Christmas stockings. I am a former TWA flight attendant.
