| Description |
Photo taken at Flight Path Museum at the south end of Los Angeles International Airport, covering the history of aviation, especially as it pertains to LAX. This is a scale model of a Northwest Airlines Boeing 747-400. Northwest had been the very first airline to operate the 747-400 in 1989; it initially ordered fourteen but took delivery of only ten. (#11 and #12, in production when canceled, were picked up by United.) The last of the ten, N670US, was given this special livery in the mid-1990s, to mark Northwest's 50 years of service to Asia, featuring artwork by children from Asian cities served by Northwest. Northwest, along with Pan Am, was the definitive US airline operating across the Pacific, and the Pacific routes were what allowed Northwest to continue surviving and thriving despite a weak domestic network. Northwest even went on to order six additional 747s after this "50 Years of Bridging the Pacific" promotion ended. But the post-9/11 slump and the market pressures led Northwest into bankruptcy, and eventual merger with Delta; today, N670US and all other Northwest 747-400s continue to fly on, as part of the Delta fleet and in the 2007 New Delta livery. |
