Picture 2 of 16
I rode 720-024B N57205 from Los Angeles to Denver on October 21, 1965, and hustled up to the observation deck for this picture before it flew on to Chicago. Continental introduced this modified Golden Jet livery on its fleet of eight 720Bs, then retro-painted the older straight-pipe 707-124s. Both were among my favorite color schemes.
