Bye Bye Max

After almost 7 years of flying in the Peter Max scheme N77014 went into mx yesterday for a C-Check were he will be repainted into regular Continental colors.

Unfortunately I've never gotten a decent picture of her the 11 times of I spotted him.

It's a shame to see him go! :cry:

Yeah too bad, the only time I saw him was on a climb out in a Co737 to ORD.
Bye-bye Max

Wow. Big loss of a very popular scheme. I, too, never got a photo.

Me neither. But I think we were all huddled in the same car, going through NJ once, craning our necks up to catch a glimpse. :wink:

Maybe you guys should come across the river more often :twisted:

I remember when I shot it I tracked its movments for a whole week and then made my move. Killed it on the first 777 that flew past me :)
Its to bad COA won't replace it with something just as snazzy.

I say paint it in NY Giants (football team) logo colors, CO is the official airline of the NY Giants. Bill, make some calls.

I never even saw her :(

I remember walking by a bunch of angry CO passengers at NRT and later saw it broken down at the gate back in October while I was boarding DL 56 back to Atlanta. :mrgreen:

The only time I actually got to SEE it was when it was flying over Gordon's house....

njgtr82, could I use your photo of the 2 777s for a thread on a.net? I'll make sure to credit it

I never saw this one either, shame to me that's the best special scheme in a large US airliner maybe ever

Saw her twice. First time in Frankfurt back in 2005 (pictured below), and second time in March of this year at IAH. Picture at IAH was ruined by heat haze :(

Short Hills and Riverside Square Mall on Sat. at the Wentworth Galleries.

Dug up a picture taken at MAD in 2004.

Thanks for rubbing it in guys :/

what a beautiful paintscheme.. wow

I also saw this beauty at EWR I believe in 2000. I took videos of her taxying around from a window at EWR. This was before 9-11. Now, I doubt if I'd be allowed to stand and take such videos. The aircraft was beautiful. I haven't visited EWR in years. In the "good old days", I got a private guided tour of the old Control Tower by a great guy. I recall his name was Alyosius Riley. That year, I was also permitted on the ramp area to take videos of a People Express B747.

Its a shame to see Max go back to its regular Continental colors, I was hoping to see if i could have got a decent shot of it sooner but I never had the time to visit Newark more. However, i did catch MAx landing towards runway 4R at Newark back in October, 2006. The shot wasnt as great as i hoped it would but I kept it anyway. Here she is landing at EWR rwy4R on 10/06.

Gordon must be hating heat haze right now.

I have never been able to catch a good shot of her. Seen her many times in and out of EWR.
