I have been waiting for hours to get into Jetphotos.net
to get this shot, some of you may have known about this others may not. United have a new paint scheme, its been a low key surprise type thing with this 777 being the first.
Like many i have been waiting to see this for months and i must say its really cool. Although i like the "current" scheme a little better, this is a nice change for a company looking to leave chapter11
enough talk here she is

I've gotta admit, even though I've always had a soft spot for the old blue and orange, I do like this new look. It's a good way to move on from some of the high-profile problems UAL Corp has had and start a new chapter....one that doesn't end in 11. Grin

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com

Looking a lot less boring than the previous grey one

This clearly is a 'polish the image' trick, as people tend to remember the colorscheme better than the actual name of the airline

I think I actually saw a 737 in the new scheme fly overhead today. I originally thought it was a U. S. Express flight, but then I noticed the fuselage appeared to have a white upper half. Has United started repainting their 37's yet, because it didn't look like a triple 7. -Raz
