Sorry, a bit of a delay this week...

Anyway, let's take this opportunity to celebrate Northwest airlines who are of course becoming a less common sight than they once were.

3 each. We know it makes sense

First, one from Heathrow:

Between about 1950 and 1970 only Pan Am and TWA were the only American passenger airlines serving Heathrow, then Pan Am started through-plane flights with Delta,Northwest and National , Here a Northwest 707 lands on the rarely used runway05 at Heathrow in 1971

Some great pics here...My fiance flew from America twice using Northwest - apparently a very good airline.
Interesting fleet too. The A330-200 posted above was the one she flew one, big old bird.

That particular aircraft was delivered to Northwest in October 2006, so it's hardly an 'old bird'.
