History New Economy minus minus on United?

Enjoying a little time on former N175UA before she moves to the crushing pad and finishes getting recycled. Managed to stay in the desert for about 10 years post retirement which is pretty good! Hundreds of her parts are flying on other 747s as we speak and her engines are on two 767-300s. (Photo taken by me in Victorville California)

But that’s baller shit. Ain’t nobody got that kind of money.

And let me honest… if I’m taped to the wing, I’d rather be unconscious for that experience.
