Northwest Airlines

For decades, Northwest Airlines was the hometown airline for Minneapolis-St. Paul, employing thousands of people. But by 2009, it fell into bankruptcy and merged with Delta Air Lines. For many Minnesotans, NWA brings a sense of nostalgia as it opened up this part of the country to global travel, and so much more. Host Ellery McCardle talks with Bruce Kitt, Executive Director of the Northwest Airlines History Center, to talk about the company's legacy. Put two aviation nerds in one room, and they won't stop talking!
