Continental Airlines 737-824 | N26210 | MSN 28770 | LN 56 | Proud Bird Retrojet "what-if" colors
When Continental Airlines announced that they were putting to an employee vote what past color scheme should adorn their retrojet in celebration of the airline's 75th anniversary, I was really hoping that the Black Meatball scheme would win the vote, but alas, the Blue Skyway scheme won out and that's what's now flying (and truth be told, it doesn't look too shabby at all...).
However, my own sense of reality being what it is, I had to do a print of a Continental 737-800 in one of my favorite airline liveries and that's how this print came to be. I'm not sure what Continental actually had planned had this livery won, so this depiction is strictly my own interpretation on how the livery might have been applied to the 737-800.
I selected N26210 for this illustration as that particular aircraft happens to be Continental's first 737-800. In the real world, N26210 was built and delivered to the airline in May 1998 and currently flies ETOPS routes in the Pacific for Continental Micronesia.
Some detail views of this print:
And this is an overview of the entire print (watermarks will not appear on the final illustration):
This print is 6 x 18 inches in size and is printed professionally on heavyweight paper in a high gloss finish that uses a subtle pearlescent photographic process to render the colors much more vibrantly than the previous print process I employed.
