#OnThisday in 2001, the ceremonial last Trans World Airlines (TWA) flight departed from Kansas City, Missouri and landed in St. Louis, Missouri. The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 departed from Kansas City at 1:40pm, landing in St. Louis at 2:45pm and was flown by TWA Captain Bill Compton. At midnight, December 2, 2001, employees took down TWA signs and replaced them with American Airline signs; American Airlines had bought TWA earlier in the year.
