Management on every level brought down that Airline, mainly the Reservation Departments. They killed the Airline

I worked as an Aviation Maintenance Technician for NWA for almost 18 years, started in 1988. Started in MSP on the 727 check line, then the 747 check line. I transferred to ATL, worked in the Honeycomb shop, Door Shop, and the JT8D engine shop. Loved the job, and enjoyed the people I worked with. Sure do miss the Airline

A great airline and tons of fun to work there.........weird how it went away..........

Northwest Airlines was acquired by Delta Airlines.

There was something special we were a part of… A family with purpose.

My dad used to fly Northwest all the time

From MI to AZ, a quality carrier out of the solid Midwest that helped keep our once great family connected.

Great video

RIP My Dad, Walter John Piszczek who had passed away last year from his last battle of Cancer. he was a Northwest Pilot, even though he told me he doesn't fly anymore, stories about how funny and entertaining he was tells me otherwise, his leagacy continues.

I know some will be surprised if I say this, but I actually didn’t mind the older NW 747-400/200 interior in economy. It always feels nice to be in an interior from the time flying was much happier. I don’t need an IFE to keep me busy on an airplane. But I guess I’m old school.

NORTHWEST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Northwest Airlines pioneered the Inflight TV Service right?

Where are the DC 10s in this video? They were a big part in building the airline's transatlantic and transpacific routes.

I was a flight attendant for NWA back in 1991-1993 in Memphis. I met some amazing people and I will always treasure my time with NWA. I was sad when I found out they were being acquired by Delta.

Some people just know how to fly Like my father who used be a mechanic

I’ve got a lot of miles and a lot of great memories on those DC-9s, and Mesaba Saab turboprops. RIP.

0:00 watch northwest butter!

Thank you for sharing this--I still remember my last flight on Northwest Airlines (757-200 in the new colors to HNL). Had many great flights before then, and continued to have great experiences flying on ex-NW jets.

Very cool! wish Delta held on to their 744s for just a little longer like BA has

The sun will never set on Northwest Airlines because Delta is basically Northwest but with a modern look.

RIP again ... one of the best

It wasn't even the worlds largest for long American is now larger with them merging with US Airways. I really wish Northwest would come back.

Lindo España

Bet it was gonna ge repainted in Delta Airlines colors

Wow thats very scary. You posted this video on the day of the crash of Continental Connection flight 3407.

To bad Northwest sold out to Delta. NWA was a very good airline.

Delta took away my childhood. NWA was the airline of my youth and sparked my curiosity and interest in aviation. Yet, the memory of the airline, and its operations, still live on in the virtual world. Look up vNorthwest.net! I became a pilot for the virtual airline to somehow live the dream I always wanted before the merge. If you have a workable rig, and a well modified simulator, join them. You'll be glad you did, and we need more pilots!

Working at Tampa reservations was the best. Thanks for the great times.

I used to fly NWA out of DLH. In this video, they made a point of saying the merger would allow Delta to offer the best rate structure. If that's true, why is United so much cheaper out of DLH?

We moved to MPLS/St. Paul (MSP) from Waterbury CT in the late 80s, after I was born. Dad (6'3" Norwegian guy, Kjell Jr, from Brooklyn) got a job as an aircraft mechanic for years until the beginning of the damn Delta Buyout that began in 2005, Dad taking his severance pay and walked... He died 4 days from his 49th bday, a fortnight from my homecoming from AIT @ Fort Gordon GA Aug.5.2009 (same summer as MJ).

Old video! Purely AWESOME shots of MSP! Brings back childhood memories! MSP is not the same without northwest.....

Why did you make me cry? Oh the glory days .....

my mom was a flight atendent at northwest till 911 when all the new wokers got laed off thats why i saw this

I hate it when there's no sound

Ground made a big deal out of nothing. This would not have happened if ground had common sense to know the pilot is new then issue him PROGRESSIVE TAXI to terminal.

Is that at msp

Delta, nwa

I love msp

I love NWA old color

RIP Northwest Airlines.

lul me from the future youtube sucks now and NW sadly does not exist F U delta

My dad was an employee for nwa in the baggae area

if this were real life, then the Delta pilot is the douche bag.

He acted like an idiot and not like a newbie. As I had my first flight I knew what i have to do - i mean who dont know it?- but this.... you can not express this in words....

Personal stab aside, the motto of Vatsim is "As Real As It Gets". Sure, you're allowed to be a newbie, but at least come in with some idea of what to expect. There's plenty of free resources on the Internet - terminal procedure charts from FlightAware, interactive enroute charts from SkyVector, KZbin videos (I highly recommend watching musicalaviator's flights in both US and AUS), and the Vatsim Forums - for a new pilot to explore. That's how I became familiar with IFR procedures on Vatsim.

Everyone has been a newbie sometime and it's just a simulator not real life they don't have to train Before using vatsim or anything like that so just stop with that stupid shit you're saying and why do you call them the big boys well you aren't so big using a pokemon as a profile picture

The Red Tail... got me flying. And- hey what a fine ride it was. I enjoyed most every day there. It embodied a period in time that too has gone. The greatest airline there ever was, achieving milestones others are quick to claim for themselves. But we the Red Tail Family- have something to be proud of till the end of time- our history. Keep your head up, stand tall and let's never forget those 84 years of Northwest and the Red Tail. In our memories the sun will never set on Northwest Airlines.
