Twas the twenty-third of December,
and all through the day,
not an employee was stirring,
except maybe Trey.

Formerly the TWA Flight Center, designed in 1962 by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, now a kind of 1960s theme park.
Joe Schost (left), director of maintenance with TriStar Experience, exits the plane as pilot Mike Barron and his father, co-pilot John Barron, both of Hannibal, Mo., and formerly of Kansas City, look on after they too left the cockpit of the "Wings of Pride," an MD-83 McDonald Douglas commercial jet, Friday morning, Aug. 7, 2015, in the first hangar at the TWA Museum at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City, Mo. The jet bears an opposite color scheme (white accents on red rather than red accents on white) because it was purchased by the employees of TWA in 1994. The plane was used by TWA and later American Airlines, was later retired, then restored and new engines installed. It arrived Friday morning from Roswell, N.M., where it had been kept in a hangar with B-52s. It will now reside at the TWA Museum for tours and used on Honor Flights for veterans.
