Audio: Recording of Last Continental Flight to Newark

By the way, the new name is "Unimental"

it should've of been continental's name and united colors

Do you have to register to get the recording? I'm not seeing any links or anything for it on that page.

Well, maybe Continental will be back. It has done it before. Wasn't the last Continental really the old Texas International that bought the name?

see ya later continental, it was nice havin' ya! :(

Mr. Varney's two airlines.... United at last.

I'm delighted so many people have enjoyed the audio clip I posted!

The captain, and fell in love, still never proof read :)

I first flew in the sixties on Continental from California to Texas with my brother, almost every summer. The first time i was 6 years old, we were always given wings and allowed in the cockpit, and Captain always walked thru the cabin once. My brother and I were treated like gold, and along the way as young boys feel in love with some beautiful stewardesses (SP?) Anyhow those days are long gone, thanks Continental your legacy will live on at United as you teach them real customer service!

The Proud Bird with the Brass A** once stood for quality!!

I will miss Continental as I liked that call and there name better.

UAL just robbed COA of their name...Continental will be missed..

The Continental callsign will be missed.

Would've been nice if the last flight was to end right here in it's hometown airport KIAH.

or air alibaba

The radio call sign is derived from the company’s formal name, Atlantic Southeast Airlines. The acronym developed from blending the initialisms *A*tlnatic *S*outh*E*ast (ASE), pronounced “A-cey.” The company, at different times, had been independent, owned by Delta, sold by Delta, sub-contracted by Delta, and now subsumed into ExpressJet Airlines. (Additions or corrections are welcome!)

A related issue: Company call signs on Flight Aware formerly had been revealed on flight number mouse-overs. Where are they now (if at all), or did I miss something? Could it be that owners/mergers/callsigns change so rapidly it is impossible to keep up?

As noted in the recordings, "It could be worse. You could be Acey."
