DescriptionThis image depicts a nighttime shot of the Albuquerque Airport in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two Trans World Airlines (TWA) airplanes can be seen sitting on the tarmac in front of the main terminal. Several luggage carts and other small vehicles can be seen driving under and around the planes on the tarmac. The wording on the plane nearest to the camera reads "TWA", "N833TW", and "Star Stream". The only visible writing on the plane furthest the camera reads "N4995E". The main adobe style terminal and several passengers waiting to board can be seen in the background beyond the two planes.
