Hi guys,
If you guys don't mind please help me clarify this puzzle.
I was driving home (westbound on the Belt) yesterday (7-15-06) around 6PM, give or take. As I passed the BJ/Target/Home Depot shopping center, I saw this B741 doing its approach, coming straight at me. As it was flying over my car, I took a quick peek and it seems to me that the tail is painted in Continental current scheme (blue background with the globe). I thought I saw "thing", so I asked my wife to double check. Being an amature she is, she did confirm that indeed it was a Continental tail, however she also saw "Air...something" on the starboard side.
Now, what I am thinking is that it was a cargo plane that used one of Continental old 741s, but then again, even if they are too cheap to repaint the plane, they have to somehow remove any decals or painting that distinguish a particullar airline???
No camera was available thus no photo. Anyone was spotting at JFK yesterday or anyone that can shed some light onto the matter please advise. Thank you and appreciate it!!!
