      Continental never had any 757s in the red meatball gold tail livery,there's a MD80 in this video in that livery but Continental never had any 757s painted into that livery all of Continental's 757s didn't arrive until after Continental adopted the blue tail globe livery

    What Terminal were you at? I saw the North Concourse areas from Terminal 4 and a concourse from Terminal 3 and I believe I saw the Temporary concourse at 5:35. I was not there when Terminal 1 existed but I do know that T1 and T2 had an observation deck (I heard about it from people who was there at the time of Terminal 1, 2 and 3).

    Those AA MD-88's were pretty when new. This was prior to terminal 4 opening when HP flew to HNL as well as Japan (Nagoya) on the 747-200's.sad we have lost most of these carriers. All the DL 727-200s were SLC based WA aircraft this was long enough after the merger to paint them all in DL colors. Canadian was created with a merger CP Canadian Pacific with Pacific Western, it was a excellent carrier based in Calgary. I miss them all TWA, NWO, HP, CO, and so ,any more
