Let's all remember the deal is far from done. That said, I'll always remember NW as a smaller airline that took on giants (PA, UA, EA, and DL) and came with everything they had. They had a lot... Boeing Stratocruisers, even on domestic routes. "Regal Service" to Florida from the midwest. Big equipment (DC 10-40s, 747s), service to Alaska, in the old days. "Orient" was their middle name. Always, always their bright red tails, and a teenage me pushed way back in his seat as his NW 720B blasted out of ORD on it's way to GEG, and SEA to the World's Fair in 1962.
