coronado990 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I've just uploaded 10 repaints of my all time favorite livery - TWA's "Star Stream" double globe. I remember as a 6 year old seeing this livery and it stuck in my memory up to now. it was mainly the double globes on the tail that grabbed me. I wanted to paint this livery for a long while, and I guess now was the time to do it. As for TWA's subsequent livery, with the red bars, that came out in the mid 1970s, I guess it was ok, but that's about it. It had nowhere near the pull for me, as those magical double globes did. here's some info: TWA was one of the two great U.S. intercontinental carriers of the jetliner golden era, the other being PanAm. They plied the world with their shiny 707s, DC-8s, and 747s, well before many other US carriers did so. TWA was also interesting, as it was run by the enigmatic Howard Hughes. On January 25,1959 TWA launched its first jet service on between New York and San Fransisco. The route was chosen by Howard Hughes himself, to compete with American Airlines new jet service between New York and Los Angeles. The plane, a 707-131, sported the new 'Star Stream' double globe livery, one of the most iconic liveries in civil aviation history. TWA carried this livery for almost 20 years, when it was phased out in the late 1970s. Col & Peer, this time around I have no props for you, however, they're on the agenda :) Here are the planes...... 707-331(B) Advanced 707-331C 727-31C 727-231 747-200 (actually this livery was on a 747-100 but the model wasn't available by "Ready For Pushback") 747-131 (CLS) Edited November 27, 2019 by coronado990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Fantastic! I call all your paints 'The Giana Greats' because they are, absolutely top notch mate. Because I have my sim in retro 60's mode I'm missing out on a lot of these, so I'm going to do another install of a later era. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coronado990 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hahaha. Give it up guys. You're laying it on a bit too thick. Col, you said you are missing out on a lot of these because you have a 1960s set-up in your sim. Well, many of these jetliners were flying in the 1960s. Now, going off the top of my head, I think the 727-100 joined the TWA fleet in 1964. The Dc-9-14 in 1966, and the 727-200 in 1968. Also the 707s were the first jetliners that TWA got. That was back in 1959. However that was the 707-131 model. The models here, are the 707-331 model. They joined the TWA fleet in 1966. So, most of them began their life in the 1960s. There, problem solved. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Flying in the 60's, I know some were but a couple were a bit later I think, plus some of your other earlier paints were a bit later and I want them in my sim as well. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coronado990 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) LOL!! Col, thanks for the great title, but you should've posted "Camus the Great" instead. That's actually not me on the avatar, nor do I smoke. The man in the avatar is Albert Camus, a Frenchman, and easily one of my favourite writers/philosophers, who also won the Nobel Prize in Literature. He wasn't a pompous, or arrogant man either. He was born into a working class family. One of my favourite books of his, is "The Stranger". A superb piece of work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Camus My wife did say that I actually look like him, haha.

ColR1948 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Lol, sorry Ted, I read the link about Camus, he was a quite a guy. As for books, I have never read a book right through, I get board after a few chapters, can't explain why, I just do, yet I like watching documentaries, I can watch them all day. I too am not pompous and I was born in a working class family, in fact my parents had very little, and like you I don't smoke either, I did try it once but I didn't like it, so gave up after one cigarette, now there's will power for you, I quit lol.

coronado990 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 No problem Col. It's good to know you quit smoking only after 1 smoke. I actually smoked for a few years, and eventually quit in August 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
