Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
N601US (cn 19778) Operating a charter in the last days of its long and active life, this was Northwest's very first 747, and the last of their -100 series 747's to be retired. Pictured making the turn over spot two for the backside of the C concourse. Retired only a couple months after this photo was taken on 9/25/2000, it was broken up in Maxton North Carolina, and the nose section is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Not the best shot, but an interesting subject.

Great shot of a classic, Chuck. For the historical reference, nice view of the old 'Quad' hangars in the backgroud, too.
