Thanks for the clarification, I'm still relatively new at trying to pick out plane types and just used what United typically flies from MUC to IAD. Probably an equipment swap.

I stared long and hard at your photo before convincing myself.

It's a beauty by the way.

Unless the shot was taken on March 9th of this year, that is a B777. March 9th was the only date this year that UA903 was not operated by a 772. On that day it was a 763.

N644AS...also known as the Wi-Fi plane. Was heading to PHX from PDX today.

The plane for the Houston Rockets. I think. It's my best guess...it's unable to be tracked at FlightAware...and the Rockets played the Blazers today.

N952UA...not sure where it was coming from, though.

Nice shots! Did you get your laptop out and see if you could catch the signal? :D

I didn't have my laptop with me. LOL

In all honesty though, I didn't realize it was 644 until I got home and was looking at my pictures. :D

Would you know why?

Very nice photos.
