@WhateverMcCoy About 22 feet shorter and the DC9-50 (125 feet long) has less powerful smaller engines than the MD-82 (147 feet long)...Thats the difference..
@AccessAir I know that. Hence the "[Irony!]" tag. From that angle though, the two are kind of hard to tell apart without counting windows or taking a closer look at the engine nacelles.
@evilassaultweaponeer I TOTALLY agree; it was boring, cheap, & tacky looking! The fact that they didn't even spell out NORTHWEST AIRLINES, they reduced it to NWA. Bad!
This NWA liveri s RAW and Badass!

I always thought that northwest Orient is a much cooler name than just Northwest.

Great vid! Takes me back in time! I flew on a Northwest Orient DC-10 back in 1987 to Stockholm, Sweden from JFK. Thank you!

If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to make a DC-10 my HOME. :) The -40 was a great airplane. Nice memory.

That is a DC-10-40. THey are practically non-existent today. The only PW-powered version of the DC-10.

The DC-10 in this video has the best Northwest livery every. Why they ever changed it, I can't understand...

@chicagoman58 agreed. the last "nwa" livery was dreadful.

@jjouney Nah the livery after this one was the worst... Red on top grey at the bottom, how ugly... Last one was better.

@TheWarPlanet WHAT!? The bowling shoe livery was AWESOME! NW's final livery was boring and generic, just like every other airline these days... :(
