NWA 747-400s Being Painted In Delta Colors

[joeyb747]

Ever wonder what an A330-232X would look like in Delta colors? Wonder no more! Here is the latest NWA fleet member to be painted in Delta colors:

NWA A330-232X N806NW landing at AMS/EHAM on 03/22/09. 

As a native Detroiter, I'm going to be sad to see NWA disappear. But I guess that's evolution!

call me old fashioned, but i like the old-old paint scheme that delta used.  the one from the 1974 pic up there.  i dont know why, but something appealing about it!  lol

Couldn't agree more! I LOVE the old paint schemes!

Deltas' "Widget" as it was called was a classic. Looked GREAT on the B747 and the L-1011:

I do have a bunch of old pics, but they are in photo form, not on my computer. I have some old Pan Am stuff (A310s and B747s), some TWA, I have old school United and NWA (Orient scheme), Usair, British Airways, and a TON of Delta in various schemes. All kinds of pax birds. Also a bunch of different freighter pics. I'd have to go look thru them to list everything I have. But like I said, they are hard copies, not digital (one of these days I'll get my scanner working! ). The website I link to, www.airliners.net, is FANTASTIC! Here, I'll link you to the search engine, from there, you can look for what ever your heart desires! There is also www.jetphotos.net. Happy Plane Looking!
