Cleveland Air Show
Looks like UA will be displaying a 737-900 at this weekends air show. UA 2143 will soon take off CLE-BKL. Despite the cutbacks at CLE it is nice to see UA do this. They also did the plane pull this year. THANKS UNITED

I saw the plane today and asked someone who was with me if United was flying it in the airshow as a historical landmark of the last mainline United plane that flew in Cleveland.... He said that it was there so kids could board the plane and walk through it to show them what it was like when mainline aircraft were in Cleveland in ancient times.

United even had another plane there a RJ-145 ship 195. Even when they hub including the CO days they never had 2 planes there. Remember they are taken out of service for almost 3 days. A good PR move by UA to do this as they got tons of bad press since the February announcement of the hub closing.
The air show ended a few hours ago. The 737-900 UA 2144 went back to CLE. Flight Aware shows it flew east then came back into for the 2-4 approach. The RJ-145 UA 1345 looks like took off runway 2-4 and went directly into the CLE 2-4 landing pattern. That seems a little odd because of aircraft speed and traffic flow.
