I agree with the comment of the previous person concerning the last color scheme.
They look like cargo planes. I believe a deal was struck between management of both Delta & Northwest to put both companies together just after filing for bankrupsy.
I am retired from Northwest. I liked the old Northwest Orient colors. One good thing about the merger...........those vintage, outdated, Republic DC-9s finally will pass into history for good. (Exception: Ex-North Central DC-9-50s continue)
I flew Northwest twice...both in 1997. I flew round trip to Kansas City, Kansas with my father. I fell asleep on the flight from LA to Kansas City in the middle seat but when I woke up, I was at a window seat. We switched planes somewhere...I'm guessing
As a former and now retired NW employee, I joined Northwest Orient Airlines in 1973. My first assignment was O'hare Field (Chicago). The 707's were almost gone. There were a lot of good times as well as bad. I think people are the most important element in a company. They are the ones who actually do the work. Management reaps the harvest in the form of excessive pay. But somehow the airline survived. I'm sure many will agree............we had a good run.
Saddens me to fly Northwest Airplanes with Delta logos... But cant say I miss them after the nearly 10yrs of grief this airline caused me and my family..... Only can hope delta and Richard Anderson dont come and haunt me...
i am confused that delta is taking over nwa but nwa is still a seperate airline? isn't all nwa suppost to all move to delta and then there will be no nwa! can some one tell me whats happening?
Go Northwest! Bad Delta for repainting all the planes. I hope that the FAA denies Delta the certificate for operating the combined airline and that they retain their separate identities (albeit under Delta ownership)
Good tribute to northwest airlines. I don't like the new design of northwest. It's all silver that just says NWA. I like the old design, the dark red and gray design. That was cool.
Reminds me of my flights from Detroit to Minneapolis

The first DC-10 I flew on from Detroit to Seattle. I was excited, it was the first wide body I flew on.

It takes time to merge two big companies such as NWA and DL...think about it: seniority lists, fleets, jobs, routes, airport operations...

i know! we've officially moved another step closer to the USA having one single mega carrier for the whole country. absolutely sickening.
it was bad enough to see America West Airlines disappear into the sunset like that, and now, it's happening again!

@natewv1 Right before they went bankrupt they still had a lot of those old painted aircrafts-I remember I used to ride them all the time.
