Well, I had all the United paints in 737 form seince Unitied got there 737's, I thought I would do a montoage of the paints. Planes used: Captain Sim 737-200, PMDG 737-700/800 BTW...Bouns Points to whoever can guess where I'm at. ;D

United's FriendShip paint from 1960's-1974

The Rainbow Scheme paint used from 1974-1993

Image


The 'Battleship Grey' paint, and my personal fav 8-). Used from 1993-2003(however it was still used up until the merger)

Image


The 'Blue Tulip" used from 2004-2011

Image


The Current Continental/United Merger paint, 2011-Present

And yes, I know United didn't use the NG until the merger.

Cool! I like the blue tulip one, but I'm not a big fan of the current livery with the orange globe on the tail. Just my preference though ;)

Great shots. ;)

My Favourite is either 'Battleship Grey' or the Friendship paint.

Wrong. Minus Infinity. Where is my EXACT location?


Sitting in front of a computer playing FSX? :D Sorry I just had to say that.

At a famous Airport serviced by United?

Wrong. Not Everett.  THIS is there all of the First Have gone.  Except the 727 and the 777. WHAT Airport, or place behind me.

Thought it might be Paine Field but i cant find that spot you are at in FSX so i guess not :( I cant find any other info as to where Boeings go after manufacture - And it cant be Renton as the 727 was built there.....

"After construction they make one flight, over to BFI where they are painted and fitted out to customer specifications"

Unless its some kind of museum or somthing. But the 747/737 prototypes are at the museum of flight, but theres also a 727 there!

I give up... :)
