NW 757 at CLE on 2/5
Does anyone know why there was a NW 767 parked at C10 in CLE today?
Just wondering... as it was a very odd site to see this morning, and totally unexpected.

umm, NWA doesn't operate 767'S.
Could it have been an Airbus 330?

NW does not have any 767's and as far as I know, never did. You sure you're not looking at a 757 or if you're sure it's a widebody an Airbus A330?

It sure could have been a 330... it was pouring rain this morning 
Regardless, that isn't a plane that NW usually parks in CLE - which is why I am curious.

Ooh, maybe aspects of the NW/DL merger are ahead of schedule 
And, ooh, maybe it's true that the NW livery will be kept after the merger takes place.

It was an NW 757 that was going from LGA - DTW last night and was diverted to CLE due to thunderstorms in DTW. I guess 757's look like 767's in CLE.

First off I hate C10 in cleveland. Second, just being in CLE In my opinion makes you see things like aircraft that the company does not have or seeing luggage with a first class yellow tag on it sitting out on a luggage cart in the RAIN. Oh wait that second one happened to me. Third why in the heck was there a 747 doing at CLE.

Not sure that the A320 VIP has enough seats to transport a football team. It would be a tight fit, with offense/defense, coaching, and special teams. Figure the A330s could fit the entire team, plus support staff, and even cheerleaders. And have the weight capacity to handle equipement?
