Northwest Airlines 757 Safety Demo Video 1987

[MisterSenseless]

757s couldnt fly to Europe until ETOPS in the late 90s... Now theyre practically all they use. ..

[HuntinTracker87]

i keep hearing airc**p instead of aircraft

[jonahair747meteors6]

Northwest Airlines, YEA BUDDY!

[JT041196]

It sucks that Northwest is gone. I luckily had the chance to fly them in 2005 from Detroit to Phoenix.

[jonahair747]

Man, it sucks that Northwest is gone. DELTA SUCKS!

[McDoniel]

@jonahair747 I AGREEE TOTALLY! 1,000,000,000,000,000%

[medicpack6]

what about the life jackets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[txnaquarian]

OMG! That flight attendant sounds just like Sarah Palin!

[TomsFriendKake]

After takeoff, we'll be serving a steaming tatortot hotdish with jello-salad and bars followed by a full beverage service of coffee and coolaid. A complete list of our coolaid flavors available on this flight can be found in the back of your inflight magazine Lutherans Aloft. Lutherans Aloft is yours to keep at the conclusion of this flight. In addition to inflight service information, you will find many interesting articles about exotic destinations served by Northwest such as Fargo and Duluth

This seriously just made my day. =D

[Nineteen80s29]

Man, I remember that hideous brown interior from when I was little! Sadly, all the boring blues and grays the airlines have now actually make me feel nostalgic for it!

[JessicaJHinz]

Love this! I am the cutest part of the video!

[boomer757]

erm, dose that comment card say minneapolis to london? 757's didnt fly that in the 80's!!!

[commodorefan2]

Those uniforms are soooo cheey, yet the flight attendants were wearing them on flight 209 on September 17, 1989, which was the flight and date that I met my wife.

[rokkdinface]

Love those seats.

[HappyToasterInc]

Wow those uniforms are tragic.

[B777FSX]

the new NWA is the best

the old nwa is bored

[Vikkoman]

The new NWA is now Delta

[gymbunny75]

I remember this video. Brings back memories of flying when I was 12.

[rohanb2]

haha the 80's were so cheesy...

[gayzertube]

Worst uniforms ever in the history of mankind. Can't imagine what they were thinking when they chose that color.

[sTuSx]

Yr, I actually really am 13, but i love Northwest airlines, as i flew with them last month on a MD-11 to las vegas for the first time! GREAT VID!

[bradaussie93]

well that would be amazing if they ever flew MD-11s, which they didn't, and they retired the DC-10s about a year or 2 ago.

[SydJackWyatt]

At 4:41 it looks like the FA is sweating

[laughinglion24]

Ya gotta love those Minnesota accents, ya sure!

[garetharogers]

lol

[reward415]

It's really amazing to read the level of ignorance reflected in the comments here. It appears that the average age of YouTube users is 13. This video was produced 21 years ago, at a time when onboard video was still a novelty. The comments are supposed to be about the video, not what you thought about your flight last month, or if get a free ticket on the day you wanted.

[maza95]

no shit? they didnt have lifevests?

[jawbraker84]

so cool lol

[Garyffalos]

How different everything was back then!

[joestang56]

it sux how award travel on NW starts at 25,000 miles with so many restrictions and blackout dates. I used to use their frequent flyer all the time, now it's impossibile

[jewelshare]

Wow! they never used life vests? wow! they'll just hug the seat bags, how tiring is that, if that flight crashed and it took rescue operations for days you'd let go the life preserver for sure.

[airodyssey]

This was probably a version for non-overwater flights. It is a requirement to show how to use life vests if a flight overflies water or leaves/arrives at an airport near a large mass of water.

[airodyssey]

On second thought, I just realized that the video mentions that the slides double as rafts, and that the safety instructions card makes no mention of the life vest. Hmmmm veeeeeeeery weird indeed!

[Tommy767]

Wow. NW was sooo different back then.

[Torchwood001]

no life jackets?? :o

[comradeboris]

wow thats a craptastic interior....

[MFfan310]

And the sad part is that even Northwest employees hated it... it was nicknamed "Autumn in Vietnam" by flight crew (even the Vietnam vets working for NWA!) due to the horrible cabin colors. The seats and carpets of these older 757s (now known as the 5500-series in NWA-speak) have since been recovered in a similarly-awful blue fabric.

BTW, NWA's magazine that was known as "Portfolio" at the time is now known as "WorldTraveler".

[Poke777]

lol, at 2:00, the head of the men, when he see the kid have not the mask

[os2005]

there is no life jacket

[Tvsnumber1fan]

This is a cool video. Like others here how do you get these videos? Did you work for Northwest Airlines? But thanks for the video

[swa737jetboy]

[annoyedwithsignup]

The two guys at the start look frozen.....idiots.

[ItalnBud]

Look to us,

And take the bus

[tenbeforeavant]

i hate northwest airlines

[homersimpson9]

This is when Northwest actually had in-flight entertainment. Now, Northwest took that along with pillows and blankets. You also have to pay for food. Northwest Airlines is one of the worst airlines for coach class. The only way I would fly to Northwest is when they would give inflight entertainment, pillows, blankets, and free food.

[andyee]

NW has no IFE anymore in Economy? Not even a 5hr domestic? :-O

[homersimpson9]

The only domestic entertainment Northwest has is only to or from Hawaii from the Mainland United States

[andyee]

Jesus Christ, at least JetBlue has IFE, NW have turned into peasant class.. :|

[xxjenniexox]

that woman at the beginning of the video is soo scary - the way she talks!!

[joestang56]

This is great, please post more Northwest ones!

[spfldman4u2]

do you have anymore we can see

[spfldman4u2]

excellent excellent

[spfldman4u2]

your videoa are EXCELLENT i cant wait to see more your great

[MSS658]

Do you have the current NWA video?

[b7e7]

Doesn't make much sense for an airline to produce a safety video for a domestic fleet that doesn't have the capability to show it.

[MSS658]

i think the current 757 vid. is for the new 757TAT service

[Vikkoman]

NWA has in-flight entertainment for transatlantic 757s and there is a

Maybe the reason why NWA doesn't have IFE for mainland USA domestic is that it doesn't have coast-to-coast length flights. STILL, Continental is getting AVOD IFE in its newer 737s... so... :|

[kjetzer]

Wow, this is a great video. Where do you find these safety videos? Can't wait to see more!

[andyee]

Too bad NWA is soo crap now! :-(

[WestPacificL1011]

They gave me food poisining :-(

[andyee]

In business class? since they barely give a shit about economy passengers anymore including snacks. :-O

[WestPacificL1011]

YES!!

[ptarr767]

I have more 747, DC-10 from the 80's for NW. Will get them up soon!

[TimothyOnline]

How in the heck do you get your hands on these things? Do people send you 8mm tapes from defunct airliners or something?

[swa737jetboy]

I Know how does he get these

[airodyssey]

ptarr767: You said a year ago you have more safety vids from NWA. When are you posting them? :-)

[hypolooser]

Super video, where did you find this? I would also love to see NWA video from the late 90's.

[JSprague24]

I'd also like to see any of the late 90s videos if you have them. I remember seeing them several times going to/from Europe on NW- I remember they had an intro which was pretty cool.

[airodyssey]

Don't be surprised by the length of the video. The actual safety demo is actually 3 minutes long, the rest are two other segments, one about service onboard and a WorldPerks frequent flyer program commercial.
