Delta retires the last DC-9-40s

[Delta777LR]

Delta has flew the last of the 5 Delta NWA colors DC-9-40s. Sad to see these birds go.. They are all on the ground at SFB..

Saw one at DTW just a few days ago. Glad I snagged a shot.

Oh man can anyone get a shot of them on the tarmac??

I managed to catch N760NW landing at PHL last month, and knew then that that was probably the last NW-painted DC-9 I would ever see in real life.

I can't wait for when we only have 3 domestic carriers! That should make for some great spotting.

I was only able to get one shot back in april

It's very sad to see those go. I've flown on them many, many times, and Northwest will always be remembered.
My only Northwest shot on Jetphotos is a DC9-40 N763NW

N763NW is the only posted shot I have as well...a different view:

Oh what the hell, might as well put the shot up(note interesting rudder paint)
