Summary

[edit]
Description

The 747 on the left is headed for Singapore via Tokyo Narita. Built in 1999, it was named in 2011 after the first customer to ever hit 10 million miles in United's MileagePlus frequent flier program. It was also the first Boeing 747 in the post-merger United fleet to get the Continental Disco Ball livery. (A few 747-100s had flown for Continental through the 1990s, wearing the Disco Ball.)

The A319 on the right, still stuck in Battleship Gray, had brought me in from Newark moments ago; I had spent the past week in Philadelphia and New York. Now it will fly on to Des Moines, Denver, and Albuquerque. With the brisk pace of fleet repaints (not to mention that there is no excuse for Battleship Gray still being around), it is likely that this is the last Battleship Gray aircraft I got to fly on.

"You will like where we land."
