This is the infamous plastic model airplane seen going down the toilet in an outragously entertaining online auction that was viewed by over 10,000 people before it was removed earlier this week.
This auction NOW includes:
- The original Northwest Airlines A320 model from the toilet
- A Framed photograph of this NWA model in the toilet
- Printed instructions of what you should do in the event you find yourself in an A320 during a water ditching.
This nice model that went in the toilet has bold colors with the NORTHWEST name in proud Capital letters accross the top. This is not the more recent model that is faded grey with the name nwa in small letters near the bottom with only half of the original logo on the tail which is going the wrong direction on one side.
I have included a picture of an A320 parked in front of what remains of Hangar B at MSP for the primary purpose of giving potential bidders a better idea of what this airline model looks like since the toilet water is not very clear and you cannot really see the details of the model. While looking at the photo, don't be distracted by the absence of brightly colored artwork painted on the side of the hangar that once served as a daily reminder that at some level "employees are valued"... it is gone, taken apart and demolished. The model you are bidding on looks similar to the one in the picture, and is also in need of maintainance. This model has loose pieces and is falling apart.
Getting the Northwest Airlines model from the toilet would make a wonderful gift for anyone, and these emergency ditching instructions could save your life if the A320 you're in goes down into the water. Gift wrapping is available upon request.
Please let me know if you have any questions related to this broken airline model or the other items listed.
