Continental Airlines thought of a unique way to celebrate their 75th Anniversary as a company. The airline will fly a retro painted aircraft to their 3 hubs in Houston, Cleveland, and Newark later this week as part of the celebration of 75 years in business.

"I am proud to celebrate this exciting occasion with the Continental team, including both our current 43,000 co-workers, as well as the many retired co-workers who paved Continental's history and made the airline what it is today," said Larry Kellner, Continental's chairman and chief executive officer. "Not many 75-year-olds believe their future will be longer and more vibrant than their history, but that's exactly what we're looking forward to at Continental."

The new Boeing 737-900ER will make its way to Cleveland Hopkins this Friday. Employees and retirees have been invited to join along in party that will be held at the companies hub as part of the celebration.
