D is for… Delta Delta Air Lines (DL/DAL) | Callsign: Delta | Strapline: Keep Climbing | Fleet Size: 913 | Destinations: 325 | Hubs: Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Detroit (DTW), Los Angeles (LAX), Minneapolis/ St Paul (MSP), New York (JFK), New York La Guardia (LGA), Salt Lake City (SLC), Seattle/Tacoma (SEA) | Delta can trace its origins back as far as 1925 and the creation of the world’s first aerial crop dusting company – Huff Daland Dusters Inc, originally based in Macon, Georgia. The airline’s logo, aka the “Widget” first appeared in 1959 and recalls the airline’s origins in the Mississippi Delta. In 2007, following its emergence from bankruptcy, the airline introduced its current “Onwards & Upwards” livery, designed to save money by using fewer paint colours, and therefore saving 1 day from the time taken to paint each aircraft. #Delta #DeltaAirlines #Atlanta #ATL #KATL #29Aviation #Aviation #AvGeek #Plane #Pilot #PlanePorn #InstaPlane #InstagramAviation #MegaPlane #AviationPhotography #PlaneSpotting #Boeing #BoeingLovers #B767 #Boeing767 #Aviation4U #OnwardsAndUpwards #Airline #JFK #LGA #DTW #MSP #SLC #LAX #KeepClimbing (at Heathrow Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Z8PsmnbLZ/?igshid=27aew7glchib
