I redeyed on it LAX-ORD maybe 2 years ago. A few people noticed the livery when boarding, and we all thought it was cool. Maybe time now to immortalize the venerable tulip logo of yesteryear? It really embodies the United brand and evokes fond memories for so many of us.

Spotted on 04/03/18 at EWR. We were at Gate 84 (EWR-BWI). I think the gate this A/C was at 85.
I was sitting in 3D on an E170.

She was at RDU yesterday operating the 6 PM RDU-EWR. I was on an A-320 to ORD and for a brief second I thought I'd get to fly her for my first time but I got stuck with nondescript N437UA.

Looks like SFO:

Meanwhile I am about to cross paths with it. Maybe I will have a midair sighting (as I did with some AC craft last week travelling the other direction through the same waypoint, 1000ft lower), but not holding out hope. I will be glued to the window, though.

My mid-term memory is still awesome. I forgot about this thread (what does that say about my long-term memory!)...Was at SFO over a week ago when I saw this aircraft at a gate as I walked by, and before clicking on the FlightAware link, thought to myself..."She was going from SFO to....Austin". Sure as heck, May 2, SFO-AUS about the time I was there!
