Some of the most common planes that NWA used. the DC-9-30 and the 747-400.  Please Read this though, if are going to say the NWA was not a good airline please to not leave a comment.  My first flight on an airplane was from Boise to Minneapolis in a Northwest A320, and then went on a B727 to Toronto, and a DC-9 on the way back.  This sparked my passion for flight, and so don't comment if you dont have anything good to say.  There is a picture of me when I was 5 sitting in the cockpit of the Northwest B727 @ Toronto with the pilots cap on. Anyways, SkySim DC-9-30 and the PMDG 747-400.

Great shots. Wink

Now that you posted this I'm trying to remember what sparked my interest in flying.

I can remember my first flight was in a 747 when I was about 6 months old.

My first flight was on NWA as well.  I was 6 years old and remember it like it was yesterday (although it was 24 years ago) 

Green Bay to Detroit in a DC-9.  Detroit to Phoenix on a DC-10.  Return flight was on a 747 and we were bumped up to first class on the second deck, and the pilot came into the cabin and brought me to the flight deck.  Gave me a set of wings too.  This sparked my interest.  At that age I could have cared less that I was upstairs in first class, I had a set of pilot's wings!!   Cool
