New KC-area coffee shop opens, bringing a taste of K-State to Johnson County

Between a steady stream of athleisure-clad customers Monday were a smattering of those sporting Wildcat-lavender sweatshirts and TWA tees. They stood inside what was previously an antique shop of 20 years. Those items have been cleared, and a row of first-class seats from a Delta plane currently lines an interior wall. A Nuova Simonelli espresso machine now hums atop a bar covered in reflective steel. Several aviation pieces — an old plane window, a wooden propeller, a suitcase from the 60s — were supplied by associates of the TWA Museum in Kansas City, a museum honoring the Trans World Airlines that was once headquartered in Kansas City and operated for several decades. It’s adjacent to the Charles Wheeler Airport downtown. Though it just opened, Kansas State alumni are likely already familiar with the new coffee shop in Overland Park. For the past five years, its original launch pad has been a popular fixture in downtown Manhattan. Flight Crew quietly opened its second location at 8025 Santa Fe Drive Monday, bringing an elevated (flight-themed) concept to downtown Overland Park. It’s open daily, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting now. Owner and founder Heather Hnizdil threw open the doors and crossed
