Continental
Airlines Boeing 737-724 N27722 (c/n
28789)
Continental Airlines has
continued to order the Boeing 737 over the past decade as their
intermediate
range airliner. They now operate over 250 of them of
various marques. The series 700 seen above
sports new Aviation Partners blended winglets, designed to
improve fuel burn rate, among other advant-
ages. This image is from the
Art Brett - Photovation Images collection and was taken at
Newark Airport
(now dubbed
Liberty International) in June 2005. More of Art's work can be found at:

The aircraft
depicted below is the latest of the 737 derivatives, the series
900. Any resemblance between
this machine and the original short bodied series Boeing 737-130
is purely coincidental. To all intents and
purposes they are entirely
different aircraft, sharing only the Boeing 737 name in common.

captured this one barreling out of
LAX on its way back to its base in Houston recently (February
2006).
