This vintage TWA poster advertising the Convair “SuperJet” is filled with bold color, motion, and the energy of the early Jet Age. The artwork consists of sweeping, textured streaks that cover nearly the whole background, resembling thick, painterly contrails. These strokes run diagonally upward from left to right and come in a wide variety of colors: deep blues, bright greens, soft purples, warm yellows, and occasional pinks and oranges. The texture is rough and dappled, almost like sponged paint, creating a sense of speed and vibration rather than a smooth sky.

Near the top right corner is the simple white outline of a passenger jet seen from above, angled sharply upward as if climbing rapidly. Its silhouette is clean and geometric, contrasting with the busy background. A set of bright, white-and-green streaks trail behind the aircraft, blending into the other colored paths and suggesting powerful thrust and forward momentum.

On the right side of the poster, the slogan “Speed… Luxury… Dependability” appears in bright yellow lettering, tilted slightly forward as if leaning into the motion of the plane. The lower third of the poster contains the bold red title text: “TWA” on top, followed by “Convair,” and finally “SUPERJET” in the largest type. All of the title text is outlined in white, helping it stand out clearly against the multicolored background.

The overall design conveys excitement, optimism, and technological progress.

The view is from up above but straight down. You’re looking over a triangular fighter jet, flying fast over an intercontinental ballistic missile site. Above and to the left is a launchpad for the missile. The ground seems to be a reddish sandy soil. Possibly the desert.

There was a lounge in TWA's #Convair 880... 😍 How many rows of today's main cabin seats could fit in there? 😜✈️ #aircraft #airtravel #avgeeks #aviation #paxex

Heute vor 68 Jahren: Am 27. Mai 1957 fiel eine Mark 17-#Atombombe aus einem #Convair B-36 nahe #Albuquerque und kontaminierte ein 1,6 km weites Gebiet ohne zu detonieren. Die Militärs reinigten den Ort gründlich, dennoch werden gelegentlich noch radioaktive Fragmente gefunden.

#convair #vienna

A Turkish Airlines Convair 990 Coronado jet, painted in retro livery with a red tail and white fuselage marked “TÜRK HAVA YOLLARI,” flies low over a dramatic, oil painting-style depiction of the 1683 Siege of Vienna. Below, Ottoman soldiers in traditional attire storm the city’s defenses, fire cannons, and raise flags amidst tents and smoke. Vienna’s medieval skyline, including St. Stephen’s Cathedral, rises in the background under a partly cloudy sky

The prop plane sits by the terminal building. It shines in the bright sunlight. The plane is being serviced and there is a lot of activity swarming all sides.
