As item number 514446, this collectible represents a faithful reproduction of one of aviation's most recognizable short-to-medium range jets in TWA service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Douglas DC-9 was a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner that became one of the most successful aircraft programs in aviation history. First introduced in 1965, the DC-9 was designed for short-haul routes and could operate from smaller airports with shorter runways. TWA operated numerous DC-9 variants throughout its fleet, utilizing them on domestic routes across the United States. The real aircraft measures 31.82 m in length with a wingspan of 27.25 m and a height of 8.38 m, as noted on the original packaging. The DC-9's reliability and efficiency made it a workhorse for airlines worldwide, with production continuing in evolved forms as the MD-80 and Boeing 717 series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇺🇸 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eTrans World Airlines (TWA) was one of America's most iconic carriers, operating from 1930 until its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001.
