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 Citys Kennedy International Airport. During its 2-hr. 40-min. flight from Miami, the jets 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. Its been a reliable and trouble less friend.
