Not anymore - the "old" miles all expired and became SkyMiles on December 31, 2006.
To be able to have redeemed them, you had to have been a Medallion from the discontinuation of the old program (~1993?) until the time of redemption.
The awards were quite good - http://web.archive.org/web/200504282...on_awards.html
(yes, that's 25k for domestic F and 75k for 2 F tickets to Hawaii...)

Google the subject of "old miles" in FT.
This is one of Jeff's most egregious takebacks ever, despite Delta's promises that old miles would always be good.

Old DL FF miles...
I think I do remember the 75,000 mile award for 2 1st class tickets to Hawaii? Or am I dreaming? I also think I remember taking this award only needing one ticket and having 37,500 redeposited back into my SM account. I think I'm correct on this.........

Miss those miles that "don't expire." I remember checking my SkyMiles account online in what must have been 2000/1 and seeing the "old" miles separated out from the SkyMiles.
