IAH Continental Airlines RetroJet Boeing 737-900ER Houston

Well I lucked out today 7/19/2009!!! I was at IAH Houston Intercontinental Airport about to catch a flight and behold out of the corner of my eye I saw the Continental RetroJet taxi by. I made my way as fast as I could to the area of the airport this plane was heading. Here is a short video of the Continental Airlines special Livery Blue Skyways originally introduced in the 1940s. Continental had one of their brand new 737-900ER painted in this livery to celebrate the airline's 75th anniversary! Congratulations Continental on great 75 years!!!

No, it's a Continental Airlines special Livery Blue Skyways originally introduced in the 1940s. Kinda like Southwest "theme" planes "Lone Star One" "Shamu One" etc

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I really lucked out. I was about to catch my flight in another terminal and almost missed this plane. I guess my brain is so intuned to the CO tails that I wasn't even looking out that window but something caught the corner of my eye and it was like that is not a normal CO tail, I looked over and was YES!!! Ha ha,
