Yellow Birds
Around 1966, Northeast began repainting some of their aircraft and called their bright new yellow paint scheme The "Yellowbird scheme." The aircraft kept these colors until they were merged with Delta in 1972.

End of Northeast
By the early 1970's, Northeast Airlines was having many finantial problems and merged with Delta Air Lines on August 1st, 1972. At first the Northeast planes kept their same paint schemes with delta stickers on their noses. Later, however Northeast's planes were fully repainted in Delta colors and used by Delta airlines.
