Hi all, I took this trip a while ago but I have been to lazy to post a report on it.

DC-9 N3322L
First Class Seat 3-A

This is the only picture I could find of N3322L
We got up early and went to the airport. When we got there I saw 4 Northwest DC-9s. One of the DC-9s was in the new colors. I was disapointed when I fount out the DC-9 in the new livery wasn't ours.
They started boarding as soon as we got there. We boarded through a jetway.
As soon as we got on the plane I went up to the cockpit. I met the captain and the first officer. The captain's name was Ron Curry. I don't remember the first officer's name.
Then I sat down and we took off. The take off roll was long. Once we lifted off I had a cran apple juice. It was very good. When the flight attendant brought my juice over we had a very long conversation with her. The other passengers were annoyed with us. After that We touched down and arrived at the gate early.

When we got to the gate I was very happy to find out that our aircraft was in the new livery.
Once we boarded the aircraft I asked if I could see the cockpit. They said the pilots were too busy to see me.
We had a very short takeoff roll. Once we got in the air they offered us Corn Flakes with a bannana and a choice between a bagel or a muffin. I wasn't hungry so I just had a cran apple juice.
After that we landed and we arrived at the gate early.
Overall another great trip with Northwest. I will post the return trip later.
