I also flew DL939 IAD-SLC-SEA, which was a tail swap of 738s (and despite several rounds of negotiations, did NOT get credit for the two segments on a wholly domestic flight

)

There are some domestic routes where the aircraft turns around, usually RJs, with the same flight segment. IIRC DTW-ITH-DTW is one example.
