About This File
Two liveries representing N623US, a 1979 Boeing 747-251B which was operated by Northwest Airlines between 1979 and 2009, when it was stored and later sold to Kalitta Air. Interestingly, the airframe would be re-designated N706BL the following year, and was the only aircraft to be painted in the livery of the infamous Baltia Air Lines, now known as USGlobal Airways, which was founded in 1989 and as of 2023 has still yet to operate a single revenue flight. The aircraft sat idle at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan, before Baltia announced that it would no longer attempt to use the aircraft for revenue service and it was flown to the Kalitta Air maintenance and repair facility at Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport for scrapping in 2017. The two liveries included in this download depict N623US at two points during its service with Northwest when it wore the "Bowlingshoe" or "Red Top" livery. The first depicts the aircraft circa 2004, in a cleaner, fresher state with the Northwest-KLM logo, and the second how it appeared near the end of its service life in 2008, with faded paint, heavy weathering, and the Northwest-KLM logo removed.
