Didn't, at one time, Delta operate 747's. I thought I read at somewhere they operated a "Southern Route" KATL-KHOU-KLAX. If I am correct, what are the chances that we add these 747 routes ?

Well around the time Delta did operate the 747, it was a 747-100.

Interesting side note. Delta operated those 747 routes to Europe on an exchange system with Pan Am...

I was still semi-active with another VA because of the ability to fly the 747 over there...........needless to say with these routes criss-crossing the US I can fly the "Queen" in Delta's OC my commitment to Delta VA is complete. The more I see, and learn here amazes me.......I thought I knew alot about about simming, I am learning I am still alittle green at this, 400+ hours aside. Keep me humble guys I need that.

Before you start flying these routes, you may want to get a stage 4 rating so that you can file a pirep for these flights.
