gray livery was from 1993 onwards, and in 2004, they started the tulip livery. It can take almost ten years for all planes to be repainted. I even see a few Spirit planes in the gray livery even today.
good times. yes.....good memories. I always wish this airport was better for planespotting though. gotta say that i like the current paint jobs for many of the international birds better but i miss the old battleship UAL.
UAL's (and Continental's) liveries were all nice. I'd rank them: "Battleship" "Rising Blue" "Continental globe while operated by Continental" "Mainliner" "Rainbow" "Continental globe while operated by United" (it just isn't the same without the serif font) "Friend Ship"
Thank you for the video. Love watching the poetry in motion. Is it me or am i seeing the landings back then a lot smoother than todays landings. seems like today the planes sort of slam into the ground and let the landing gears to absorb the shock.. That United DC-10 was incredibly smooth .. You could have held a tray of drinks filled right to the top and not even spill a drop ..amazing..
Sabena was always one of my favorite international airlines that flew into Chicago. Those old American Airlines liveries looked like the Amtrak of the skies. Cool video
As A Chicago Native......Ahhhh I Get Nostalgia watching These Video Of Ohare Back in 2001 where Runway 4R Was Being Used On The Regular Basis For Landings/Arrivals in My Opinion The most Difficult To PlaneSpot At
Royal Jordanian's last L1011-500 left in 1999, so this was from 1990's plus (not that this was the complete vid) but would assume some 777 in the mix by 2001.
I used to take that flight with the fuel stop in Shannon to get over to see my family in Ireland back when I was in high school. It was right about this time.
TANAY.I REALLY MISS THAT DAYS MY CHILDHOOD ALL PLANES ARE SUPERVE UNITED AIRLINES.AMERICAN AIRLINES VERY NICE AND BOEING 737.200 I MISS THAT AIRCRAFT HUGE SOUND SWEET MEMORIES.
Maybe they only just released it in 2001 to name it "2001" after they have been capturing and editing all of these classic videos over the last several years including the early 1990's, etc.
I remember the old 90's version of O'Hare everything has changed from a 90's circa feel to a 21st-century hip and trendy feel at O'Hare Airport some things from the 90's are still there but alot has changed and will change
@@_Tommmmmm_ yeah those 4R Arrivals Were Epic And Awesome..... I remember the final approach being very epic and awesome if youre coming in from the East over the lakefront and then right when you get to Summit Illinois They Make The turn to Runway 4R

Seeing the Old Dark Grey And Navy Blue United Airlines Livery Makes Me Say why did they even change that awesome Livery just like American Airlines Witht the Amtrak Livery
Pretty sure there were. I mean they still had the battleship livery until 2012, and the tulip livery began to takeoff in 2004 and then the merger livery in 2011. They did have TWA and the United 727s in 2001.
United had the ugliest livery back then. The "tulip" livery was bad, but when they went to the battleship gray/blue, it stunk. Today's livery is actually from Continental....guess the UA folks felt they better leave well enough alone. Their classic red/blue on white from the '60's was the nicest...it would've stood the test of time.
