Northwest Airlines 747-251B N613US at Philadelphia International Airport

Not one of the original Ten 747's ordered by Northwest Orient, by the time of this delivery, Northwest had dropped the 'Orient' term from it's name officially.

This was a sports team charter at Philadelphia, lucky to have caught it there.

Hmmm... the beginning of the video it says N642NW.....The only one I saw in the video was N613US.???

@midwestairlinesinc Thanks so much for pointing that out! N642NW is the ship featured in my NW 747 at Vegas, I erroneously used the titling seen from that clip here.

So you can still see N642NW..you just have to jump over to the Vegas departure..

The red/grey/white "Bowling Shoe" livery was THE BEST ever!

Really great video. Stunning livery, even if it was odd and ugly.

I flew in PHL a few months ago but didnt get a chance to see this.. how lucky some people are.. lol.. Question.. why are US carriers so scared of having 747 planes (or even 77W).. never understood that.. DL has them because of NW, CO has them now because of UA.. any ideas?
