It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more airplane art.
This week, we have a United Airlines Boeing 777-200ER arriving at its home base of Chicago O’Hare, as it completes another long haul flight.
United Airlines operate a fleet of 55 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft in its fleet. They are used both domestically and on international services. They form the backbone of the United Airlines long-haul fleet, with them operating Boeing 767-300ER, Boeing 767-400, Boeing 777-200, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9 and Boeing 787-10.
Together, they connect the eight hubs of United Airlines to the world.
This aircraft- N799UA – joined the United Airlines fleet as part of the pre-merger United Airlines in 1998. It has remained with the airline since it joined the fleet, only to be parked on March 2020 due to a downturn in traffic.
More Airline Art next week

I remember when first I lived in Chicago mid 2000s and I would fly United’s 747 to HKG. Years later they switched to the 777 which I wasn’t a fan of at the time but it grew on me and now I love the 777. Sad how eventually these will be scrapped for 787 and A350s. Reminds me of better travel times. Thanks for the memories
