Northwest Gets Its Own Moment At Delta's Heritage Museum

Not satisfied with just talking over the skies, Delta now has its eyes focused on museums. At the Delta Heritage Museum just outside Atlanta, the staff recently debuted an exhibit dedicated to the role that Northwest Airlines has had in the history of commercial air travel at home and abroad.

The exhibit, Red Tail Flying: Voices and Images of Northwest Airlines, will feature vintage advertisements and commercials from the airline, onboard amenities, and even a model of a 747. All of these artifacts, notably from the former competition, snuggled right up close to some of Delta�s pieces of history.

If you are more of a hard-core Delta fan, there is plenty of non-Northwest stuff to keep your attention. You can step inside The Spirit of Delta, the airline�s first Boeing 767 that now spends its days filled with memorabilia, or if you�re looking for a plane that�s a little older, you�re welcome to board a DC-3 on the second Tuesday of each month.

The museum is totally free, but of course they do appreciate donations. You can check out their offerings everyday but Friday, because everyone deserves a three-day weekend.
