I flew a number of these aircraft to the desert for the last time for NWA. There was not one open MX item on any of the aircraft I flew for the last time. Delta, I believe, made a mistake in shutting down the Cargo Operation. Connie got a good deal on these aircraft. They were in excellent shape and well maintained.
Thank you Curt. Yes I too believe these aircraft will continue to give years of faithful service.
