68 more opportunities to enjoy that fine Northwest Airlines service.

What fabulous news.

I'm glad Northwest is getting some new planes. That trip I was supposed to make last month would have been on Northwest - in a DC10!

DC-10 is niceplane and AFAIK those 10's are in great condition.

Boeing just delivered it last production 757 in April bringing an end to a 20 year production run and only the 7th airliner to sell more that 1000 of the type.

IIRC, the fuselage of the 757 is the same crossection in the upper half but not the lower half which is a bit wider. So they would not be the same.

Isn't the 707 and KC-135 basically the same plane?

I bet you would have noticed that big ole boom sticking out
of the back of your 707 though

You'd think so, but the fuselage is different between the two. The KC is a smaller diameter than the civilian 707 but not by much. A few inches IIRC.
