	N358CA (cn 340A-047) (Circa 1993.) My photo was labeled CLE and I can see a runway 28 sign in the uncropped version, but I am having a hard time visualizing the landscape in the background. My memory tells me this is Cleveland,landing runway 28, but wow...what a difference!

	N17025 / N77780 (cn 20535) None of the four aircraft in this 1993 photo taken from the parking garage, are still with the Continental fleet. Indeed, their very types have long since been retired. A CO 747 and DC-10 sit at the IAB gates, as well as two 727-200s, (N77780, cn 20635 is one.) All the trees in the distance are also long gone making way for two new runways. (Sorry about the poles! 35mm scan.)

	N214AU / N7645U (cn 20214) Queuing up for departure at the old Stapleton airport in Denver. This was during the early days of the rebirth of Frontier Airlines, and at the time I think they only had two aircraft. I remember departing from Stapleton many times during my days as a flight attendant, and the three things I remember most were the unbelievably long takeoff rolls, magpies, and the prairie dog colonies!
