Finally finished adding some more flights over an extended lunch. Since last Wed, there are about 240 new flights in the NW database, mostly originating from IAH.
CRJ flights: NW3306 and upwards.
A319/A320 flights: NW401 and upward.
B752 flights: NW6502 - 6504
A333 flights: NW6401 and upward
Also added IAH-NRT in A333 NW6402 and EWR-NRT in B744 as NW6602
Future 2001 NW hubs to be added are CLE, EWR and PDX. Once i get through some manuals, I'll likely start in Newark, my former home airport for 30 years before I moved south!
Interesting how United/Continental eventually took over most of these flights in IAH, CLE and EWR.

I'm sorry but when did Northwest have a hub in Houston?

They didn't technically but did code share a lot of flights out of there via Continental. Some of the flights I've added are pure NW flights but most are former codeshares from 2001. There are NW flight numbers in the schedule book I have.
