BUSAN — Good morning from the Korean peninsula! I’ll put a big disclaimer on this and say I honestly don’t know if this is real, but I thought it was most certainly worth sharing. This photo, which appears to be taken with a cell phone camera, was posted on Flickr on Tuesday morning and may show the first United/Continental merged livery in the flesh. This wouldn’t be the first time a merged livery shot has been prematurely outed by a cell phone camera.
It is believed that a Continental 737-900ER (N53442) is the first to receive the new merged colors and by the looks of that photo, it certainly is a -900ER. What do you think?
Hat tips to Gordon Werner and @jnjuisai and @onemileatatime
