It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more Airplane Art.
This week, we have a United Airlines Boeing 787-8 on final approach to Chicago O’Hare in the evening sun as it sets over the Midwest.
United Airlines operates a fleet of 12 Boeing 787-8 aircraft in its widebody fleet, and all three subtypes of the 787 (-8, -9, and -10). The airline also operates the Boeing 767-300ER, Boeing 767-400ER, Boeing 777-200, Boeing 777-200ER, and Boeing 777-300ER in its widebody operation.
Together, these aircraft connect destinations both domestically and long-haul, shuttling passengers between United hubs.
This aircraft – N20904 – was delivered to United Airlines in September 2012 and has remained in the fleet since then. It has been based out of Chicago O’Hare and Washington Dulles, operating to Accra, Munich, Dublin and Barcelona.
More Airplane Art next week!
