According to my 2001 timetable, I noticed a large number of NW flights to/from Houston's IAH airport. I'm going to start adding these in slowly. Most will be RJ flights starting around the 3307 numbers and working their way upward in the NW historical schedule. Check the database occasionally and you'll see it populate over time. I'll start with the A319/A320 flights that are missing (and one DC9-32 flight to YEG) and then work through the regional jet flights.

You can see from the above map there's not much to choose from right now. My OCD is kicking in so expect to see more legs showing on the map over the next few weeks.

I'll post a new map in a separate thread once completed.

Awesome!! My very first non-rev leg as an airline employee was on an ExpressJet (Continental Express) ERJ-135 from CHA-IAH, but the return leg was IAH-MEM-CHA on NW Airlink CRJ-200

To follow up, I've also found NW had a ton of flights out of CLE, LAX, EWR, PDX and SEA in 2001. Those will go on my backlog.

I have about 138 flights to/from IAH to add and those are the domestic ones. Apparently, IAH was an international gateway to Mexico and the Latin American countries. Once I get those ready to be input, I'll upload the whole thing almost at once.

Following this, I'm back on manuals.

More NWA flights is always a good thing.

I suppose along the lines of NWA, any chance the historic KMSP-KEGE flight (NW1639/NW1640) can be added now that Orbx has just released their KEGE product?

Sure Kyle. I just need the data on the flights: aircraft/dep time/arr time for there and back. Post here or email me.

Great. I misspoke on the flight numbers but here you go:

NW1638 MSP-EGE Dep 1120 Arr 1240 Daily
NW1639 EGE-MSP Dep 1345 Arr 1704 Daily

At the end of NW, the route was predominantly a B752 (though was an A320 and A319 at times previously)

Thanks a bunch!

They're there Kyle. There is already a NW1639 so the flights are NW 1638 Legs 1 and 2. B752 but pilots can fly any aircraft that can make the trip. All added historical flights appear in the schedule every day BTW.

Enjoy!
