In June 1981 my buddy Martin and I drove to South Florida from Denver to attend the Airliners International '81 hobby convention in Hollywood, FL. One day we got the wild idea to fly the TWA 707 return service between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. The turn-around at FLL was short enough that we didn't even deplane between flights...we just stayed aboard and chatted with the cabin crew.
Below is my photo of N781TW arriving Miami from St. Louis prior to our flight to Ft. Lauderdale and back on this classic 'four-holer' jetliner.
Below is my photo of the interior of N781TW during the turn-around at Ft. Lauderdale before our return to MIA. Note the overhead storage: no bins.
