An era in U.S. aviation ended at 3:25 p.m. on Oct. 30, 1983, when TWA Flight 4, the last Boeing 707 to fly for a scheduled airline in the continental U.S., touched down at New York City’s Kennedy International Airport. During its 2-hr. 40-min. flight from Miami, the jet’s 79 passengers ceremoniously sipped champagne. Before disembarking, the travelers stripped the aircraft of most detachable memorabilia, including seat-number plaques and safety instruction cards. Flight attendants used their lipsticks to write “Goodbye, we love you” on walls and seats Pilot Shaun Shattuck, 44: “I will miss the 707 terribly. I grew up with it. It’s been a reliable and trouble less friend.”
