Summary[edit]

Description
English: Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version.

Another London-Gatwick weather diversion, showing the classic old livery of Continental Airlines.

This classic Boeing 747-143 has quite a history. Delivered new to Alitalia in Jul-70 as I-DEME. It was returned to Boeing in Sep-81. Re-registered N356AS, it was stored until Jul-82 when it was leased to SAS Scandinavian Airlines and sub-leased to their charter subsidiary, Scanair. During the rest of 1982 it operated variously for Scanair, Icelandair and Air Algerie before being returned to Boeing in Dec-82, still as N356AS. In Jul-83 it was leased to Overseas National Airways (ONA) for 3 months until Oct-83. It was stored again until Jul-84 when it was leased to Icelandair for a 3 month sub-lease contract to PIA Pakistan International, returning to Boeing in Oct-84 for another spell in storage. In Jun-85 it was leased to PeoplExpress Airlines as N606PE. PeoplExpress was taken over by Continental Airlines in Feb-87 and the aircraft was re-registered N17011 with Continental in Jun-90. It continued in service until Feb-95 when, after 25 years service, it was stored at Mojave, CA, USA. As far as I'm aware it was broken up there in the late 1990's.
