United Hits Sinkhole

Are you sure? Looks longer than an 800. I’d swear it was a 900. Not the ER as I erroneously suggested!

Have been around enough -800s for the Mk.1 eyeball to indentify.

However, this is coming from someone who mistook a B752 for a B753….:o

Seems strange that the report says that United/Cont pseudo camouflaged the 737

To me it seems strange that the report says that United/Cont ‘pseudo’ camouflaged the 737, ie took off easy identifiers.

Why ? Surely United/Continental did not cause or can be blamed for the sinkhole occurring?

In the old days a ‘Roller’ (when they were unique) that broke down on the roads was usually whisked into a truck and driven away to save the image of RR.

Likewise prototype cars when driven on conventional or test tracks are ‘patch’ camouflaged (sometimes as badly as the 737). Often a waste of time as the knowledgeable reporter with lens usually identifies the real ‘margue’ below the camouflage.

One long looking 800. My bad.

N12221, 737NG/737-824, msn 28930. 🙂

Er, -800 Sandy :p

Might look longer being so close to the ground. :p

Oops indeed. Looks like one of their relatively new 900-ERs
