"The Blue Skyway" flies again on Continental

One more airline adds a 'retrojet' to its fleet. Continental has recently taken delivery of a brand-new Boeing 737-900ER that's painted in 'The Blue Skyway' livery, in preparation for the airline's 75th anniversary on July 15. The paintjob was first used on Continental planes back in 1947. Here you can see it on a DC-7 back in the day, and much more recently on a shiny 737 (photo by Drewski2112).
