Northwest Airlines retired all of their DC-7Cs sometime in the 1960s. However, RCTP opened in 1979, years after the DC-7Cs were retired. However, the flights involving Northwest DC-7Cs go into that airport. Could someone please correct these flights so that they go to Songshan airport (RCSS)?

Hey Andrew, I checked the NWA 1957 timetable. Darren is correct. The only two flights I could find that were affected were NW5859 Leg 3 and 5866 Leg 1. I didn't look to see if any PAH flights were affected yet.

Thanks for the good catch the both of you. I corrected both flights. RCSS was not in our database but it is now. Looks like a cool airport to fly into.
