New Spirit of Delta

[Noserider76]

Sorry to bore the other airline guys but a pretty cool shot of the Boeing flightline with DL's first two 777LRs. The first one will be delivered tomorrow Feb 29. The employee dedication ceremony for the new Spirit of Delta will be on Mar 6 and the first flight is Mar 8 (ATL-LAX). Second one arrives Mar 21. They are the first two aircraft with the new lie flat Business Elite product.

Whatever happened to the original Spirit of Delta? Did it get sold?

It has been converted to an educational museum. Several exhibits and movies are displayed on the main cabin. My favorite is a hands on demonstration of the materials used to build aircraft over the years.

The Museum is inside the Delta GO complex, but the public can check in with security and go over to the free museum. The aircraft is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

This early production 767 had the Flight Engineer's station. When it was removed the remaining space makes for one enormous flight deck.

Unfortunately the aircraft had to be modified for storage, safety, and environmental, conditions to be met. As a result it will never fly again. The aircraft has a interesting history. Anyone who wants to is welcome to come visit.

It was repainted in original colors and now sits in the Delta Heritage Museum at Hartsfield. It still looks great.

Original is in the museum hangar in ATL.

I still remember seeing it all the time at Hartsfield when it was still flying in the original colors. I always loved that old paint job.

I agree. Although most of the old paint jobs were pretty ratty by the time I got here, it's still the best one DL has had. Be great if the new paint job was the old paint job instead.

The New Spirit of Delta? Did the employees take up a collection to buy it like the original Spirit of Delta?

I realize you're pretty bitter about getting shot down by NWA, but this is the major's forum. Please go to the regional forum, and stay there! Maybe you can take some of your useless comments with you!
No wonder you can't get hired anywhere!
