Not quite true, there was only one 747-100 in the Delta fleet, which was given away very fast. I don´t know anything about DC-10s but MD-11s in the Delta fleet.
Not so, Lawstud.
Delta did operate DC10s, like this one.
The Delta 747s were:
N9896 (c/n 19896) Delivered 26/9/70, sold to Boeing 16/9/74.
N9897 (c/n 19897) Delivered 22/10/70, sold to Boeing 1/2/77.
N9898 (c/n 19898) Delivered 18/11/70, sold to Boeing 11/3/75
N9899 (c/n 20246) Delivered 3/9/71, sold to Boeing 11/3/77.
N9900 (c/n 20247) Delivered 11/11/71, sold to Boeing 26/4/77.
These machines were rather special – the upper deck was divided into two sections with a partition running down the center of the deck which created a private lounge, on the left side, which customers could reserve in advance at a substantial cost. The right side of the upper deck was a more “regular” first class lounge.
They were a common sight at Heathrow during the early and mid-seventies, operating the Pan American flights to/from Altanta.
