This was my second choice, I voted the Bold UNITED with the spear tail. I really loved this paint job though, It was the Paint, "I grew up on".

That's the United I remember. Growing up and walking through the ORD terminal beside my dad, who worked for United at EXO, I was so proud. My dad was old Pennsylvania Central Airlines, then Captial Airlines based at DCA just prior to the 1961 United merger. He moved the family to Schaumburg in 1962 and spent the next 25 years their until his retirement. I have fond memories flying back to Alexandria twice a year to visit family.
