Celebrate a unique piece of aviation history with this Trans World Airlines Wings of Pride MD-83 Coaster. This striking aircraft was famously paid for by TWA employees as a symbol of pride and dedication to the airline. Its bold design featured a distinctive reversal of TWA’s classic livery, most notably a red fuselage with white striping instead of the traditional white with red.
Over its lifetime, the aircraft went through several transitions, later being repainted into TWA’s final colors in the mid-1990s and eventually becoming part of the American Airlines fleet following the merger. More recently, it was announced that the aircraft has been acquired by a Kansas City museum, where it will be restored back into its iconic “Wings of Pride” livery.
This coaster is perfect for use at home or at work and makes a great Christmas gift for aviation enthusiasts and collectors.
Measuring 3.75" x 3.75", it is both functional and collectible—ideal for everyday use while showcasing a meaningful piece of airline history.
