Continental Airlines Airbus A300-B4 Postcard

This vintage postcard showcases a Continental Airlines Airbus A300B4 soaring gracefully above a thick sea of clouds, with mountain peaks faintly visible in the distance. The aircraft is painted in Continental’s striking 1970s “Golden Tail” livery, featuring a bold yellow vertical stabilizer adorned with the airline’s iconic red globe logo. A vibrant orange and red cheatline runs the length of the fuselage, complementing the white upper body and metallic underside. The clean and modern Airbus design, with its twin underwing engines and widebody profile, reflects the early era of transcontinental and international jet travel. The aircraft registration “F-WZMU” identifies it as a manufacturer’s demonstrator used by Airbus for promotional purposes before Continental took delivery of its own fleet. This postcard likely dates from the late 1970s or early 1980s, when Continental was exploring the advantages of European-built widebody jets for its growing route network. The image captures both the technological optimism of the jet age and the distinctive branding flair that defined Continental Airlines during its colorful, transitional years.

Yes. As I pack for this trip, I mourn all the cool useful travel stuff I'd collected over the years: the blanket from ContinentalAirlines, the tiny sewing kit from a fancy hotel, "good" sturdy plastic bags. Nothing expensive, just handy.
