The image, taken from an angle that accentuates its impressive size and sleek design, offers a unique perspective of this historical aircraft. DFW CV, also known as the Convair 800 or Model 880, was a long-range, turboprop airliner produced by the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation in the late 1950s. The Convair 800 was a significant advancement in aviation technology, featuring advanced design elements such as a T-tail, a high-mounted wing, and a pressurized cabin. With a seating capacity of up to 110 passengers, it was a popular choice for both domestic and international routes during the post-war era. This particular aircraft, 8005-18, was delivered to Trans World Airlines (TWA) in 1959 and remained in service until the late 1970s. Its distinctive livery, adorned with the iconic TWA logo and bold red stripe, is a testament to its rich history in the world of aviation. The side view of 8005-18, captured on the ground, not only showcases the aircraft's impressive dimensions but also highlights the intricate details of its design.
