Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport Brief Layover Northwest Flight 1061 10-Sep-2005

During a stopover in Detroit, I was able to snap some photos of aircraft that I do not normally see everyday. I was eager to see the 747-400, Airbus 330s, Avros, and other types. Detroit was a major hub for Northwest Airlines in those days. This would be the layover after my DC-9-40 Flight 1061 which you could read about here.

My initial opinions of the facility was that it was fairly clean and respectable looking. The only thing I had issue with was the way they put the dots on the windows to shade the terminal from the sun made photo opportunities rather difficult.
