I could have sworn that UA Insider or someone from the company said that even after the merger all the retro liveries would remain. I would be sad to see them re-paint this bird.

That's cool, I also like the old United liveries and the one they introduced right before the merger. Let's have some variety.

I've flown on both retro painted aircraft on the same one-way trip
(SFO-IAH on retro UA, IAH-BOS on retro CO)

Time to shine PJV33!

Look at this beautiful bird I found at IAH on 5/4 while on my way to SJU.

I flew that one last month. I was quite confused until I saw the plaque in the entry way describing it as a retro.

While driving to work this morning I saw the CO retro 739 landing at ORD. This is the second time I got to see a retro jet fly over me. Cool.

I flew it EWR-SFO on Dec 13...my first time on a UA/CO retro jet. I saw it taxiing towards our gate, and got a little excited when I saw it turning I would have preferred the UA retro jet, but it'll do.

I got to fly in the retro CO in March from CZM to IAH. The best part was listening to the clueless people speculate on the plane's age and airworthiness.
