Quick Description

Northwest Airlines was an airlines that operated services between 1926 to 2010 when they merged with delta but before they merged with delta they had a 747 fleet varying from 200s to -400s which consisted of 11 747-451s this replica here being N661US

N661US history
N661US is an aircraft that was built by Boeing as the prototype of the Boeing 747-400, a modernized version of the Boeing 747. The plane rolled off the assembly line on January 26, 1988, and had its first flight on April 29, 1988. After the 747-400 flight testing program had concluded, Boeing delivered the aircraft to Northwest Airlines on December 8, 1989.

In 2002, the 747 was involved in an incident in which it experienced a lower rudder hardover event. This occurs when an aircraft's rudder deflects to its travel limit without crew input. The pilots were able to overcome the issue and land safely. The problem was blamed on metal fatigue, and an airworthiness directive was issued to prevent the possibility of a future accident.

In 2009 it was transferred to Delta
