From August 2002, Northwest Airlines started taking delivery of 16 Boeing 757-351 to replace the aging DC-10-40 aircraft. Northwest first applied their new corporate livery on a 757-300 in March 2003. The original to our model with the registration N593NW was therefore one of the first to show the new outfit of the Minneapolis based airline after its entry into the fleet in July the same year. Just recently, Boeing has closed the production line of the 757-series after 24 years and over 900 delivered airplanes, but the 757 will surely soldier on at Northwest in large numbers well into the next decade.
