<p>I am at Dockweiler State Beach, at the west end of LAX. I am picnicking with friends and taking lots of photos - and some of them happen to be aviation photos.
</p><p>This aircraft was built new for Continental in 2004, 1,038th off the line out of a total production of 1,050. The 2010 Continental-United merger brought this aircraft into the combined United fleet, and like all other Continental 757s, this aircraft was given United titles.
</p><p>Boeing's decision to kill the 757 in 2004 was made in large part due to Continental's decision to convert many of its outstanding 757-300 orders to 737-800 and -900 orders in the wake of falling passenger loads post-9/11.
