It's great to hear how special this plane still is. For me, it was an amazing experience to be at the Delta Museum when we brought The Spirit of Delta home and turned it into a permanent exhibit in 2006. Check out our photos of The Spirit of Delta's transformation and exhibit opening on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/delta_museum/collections/72157622038005704/ I really enjoyed reading everyone’s stories!

How many get a city flight "tour" in a 767! I was also on its last flight from Dallas to Atlanta. I was seated at a window in the back so I could have a great view. This was the best flight ever. Kinda wish Atlanta was further away to keep the onboard experience going. I also was able to see the Spirit exhibit and liked how it was set up. Very cool and a must see!

When I worked in PDX, we didn't have Cabin Service, so the Ramp had to clean the aircraft. Ship 102 was a frequent visitor, and everyone would joke about what part of the aircraft he had bought. I considered some seat belts to be my "contribution." Brian (Opps, I hit enter too early)

I was able to visit the museum earlier this year and actually got to see the Delta Spirit exhibit (and saw the cut out on top of the hangar that was required to get it in). Great exhibit! Marie,
