Good morning from seat 21A on Continental Flight 559 to Houston. Taking advantage of Continental’s new membership in Star Alliance. Haven’t flown CO in almost a decade. This 737-800 is my ride this morning on the first leg to MRO Americas. Going to be an extremely
busy week for the US crew from Flightglobal, as we’ll be putting together our second iFDN (interactive Flight Daily News) that we started in Singapore. Stay tuned folks, there is going to be a very special surprise coming later this week. P.s. Any one know what the tail number on this flight is? Door plaque (installed in RNT) said build no 700.
UPDATE: Well, with all your help I figured it out. The plaque on the door read “certificate number”, which now makes a lot more sense and referred to Boeing’s production certificate PC 700. First leg on 559 was flown with N26208 and the second was a wingletted 757-200 (N14118), which I misread as ship 778. That’s what I get for trying to read nose landing gear door markings through the opening on the jetway.
