	N252US (cn 19971) At the very limits of a passable photo due to haze and distance, I nonetheless liked how much rubber got smoked during this landing at CLE in August of 1981. Taken from the parking lot on Brookpark Road. Bet he shaved off a few plys on those tires!

	N280US (cn 21159) Seen here in 1993 in a hybrid c/s. Still in the Northwest Orient scheme, but now wearing the new lettering Northwest and logo from the red topped "bowling shoe" colors. On Jan 4, 1990, the most amazing thing happened to this aircraft: NW005 was enroute from MIA-MSP with 145 pax and crew when the #3 engine fell off over Madison, FL after ingesting chunks of frozen lavatory fluid that leaked out from the forward lav service panel.....it made a safe emergency landing in TPA.......I remember seeing this on the news.
