Goodbye Northwest

Yesterday, January 30, 2010, was the last day that aviation enthusiasts like the Hat Trick would hear call sign "Northwest" in communications with air traffic control (ATC). Today, January 31, all former Northwest flights switch over to "Delta", the company's new masters. While not unexpected it still is sad to see an icon of the American commercial airline industry go the way of Pan Am, Eastern, National, Braniff and Western to name a few.

Goodbye Northwest...I sure will miss that red tail...
