I was just wondering if DVA has ever given any thought to adding the B377 Stratocruiser to the fleet. Northwest Orient was an original equipment operator and think this would make a nice addition to the historical line-up. A2A's 377 is near perfect and a challenge to fly. Any thoughts?

The old Strato would be fun to fly, but Delta never used them.

I thought Christopher's point was that Northwest did.

Northwest did in fact operate this aircraft. Who can I talk to about getting the 377 added to the historical fleet?

Along with this implementation, maybe we might consider also adding some of the historic flights like cross pacific 377, cross continental DC-3 and domestic L-188 flights? Northwest had a fairly small but interesting historical route structure.

I agree.... back in the day there wasn't a hub and spoke system. Airlines flew point to point with stops in between.
