VINTAGE: Continental Airlines


The UNITED of today was formed when United Airlines and Continental Airlines merged.  Both United and Continental had RICH aviation histories.  We thought you might like a "look back" to see how airlines looked back in the day...

Logos used by Continental Airlines from the 1930s until 2011.

Continental's last headquarters building (at left) shown at dusk - Smith Street, Houston, TX.


Continental Coach Pub Commerical.  (The video game in the commercial is Atari's "Pong".  It was still on the DC10-10 "Pub" airplane when I started flying in 1984!  Tony)
