Mary Lou Bigelow Attends Grand Opening of the TWA Hotel at JFK

Mary Lou Bigelow, former Trans World Airlines (TWA) flight attendant, attended the grand opening of the TWA Hotel at JFK on September 28, 2019 and from October 2-6 joined 1000+ attendees for a TWA Silver Wings reunion.

The landmark TWA Flight Center is a fabulous building designed by Eero Saarinen. The historic front building has been totally renovated but keeps the charm of the 1960s with bundles of TWA memorabilia, including all of the uniforms throughout the years. Two hotel wings house 512 rooms and are set to the rear.

Note the L-1649 Constellation parked behind the window of the sunken lounge. Climb the stairs and sip a cocktail while checking out the cockpit. Sorry, but it won’t take off – it is minus engines!

There is lots to see and do at the hotel – so don’t miss this venue for a stay or just a tour on your next trip to New York!

Larry McGlynn – Space Dealer!

MASM director Larry McGlynn is part of a team of Space Dealers! Together with Torie Lazaros and Cole Sommers, they hunt down and flip space kit and space hardware. Whether it’s the pilot’s seat from Gemini 12, an uneaten astronaut meal pack or the kit bag Buzz Aldrin took to the moon, if something’s been to space it’s worth BIG money. Every item they come across has a story – each one is a fascinating episode in the history of space exploration. And sometimes, there’s a puzzle too: bits of space kit aren’t always easy to identify.

These three are not just dealers, they are space detectives! Sometimes, to realize an item’s true value, they have to find out where it was used, and how. So they have to speak to people in the know – real space engineers and designers, and occasionally, the heroes who played a part in actual space missions.
