The Board of Directors welcomes the members of RNPA and their guests to our web site. We hope you will find it not only informative but enjoyable reading.

"As sands of the hourglass so are the days of our lives." (Socrates). It is regrettable that  many of our member have flown West. With the reduction in membership, the Board of Directors of RNPA.org has extended the operation of the web site, making it available to all the retired Nortwest pilots and  NWA/Delta pilots.

We have performed a facelift on rnpa.org. While EContrails has been discontinued, you are able to find all past issues in the Contrails Archives. . The Notam Section and Forum will inform you of significant news that require immediate attention.

We will continue to update the Memoriam Flown West directories. The Obit section will cease showing obits as of September 31 2025. Obits after June 30, 2025 sites will be found on the Delta web site with a link to their Obits section along with the protocle for submitting obits.

Contrails magazine has been at the forefront of RNPA news. Created by the talented Gary Ferguson, it has been an awaited event throughout the years.   In the passing of eContrails, to those who wish to read and/or print this final issue, click on the following link RNPA 50 years 

The archives will be available for historical and personal viewing.

The Board thanks you, the RNPA members, for your support in this adventure throughout the years.
