Boeing 737-500 (N914UA)

KSEA - When I first met Mark and Mike Durbin was at the SFO Airline Collectible Show at SFO late 1980s or early 1990s. We soon became fast friends, phones exchanged, and since we both lived near San Jose Airport, we soon started catching almost anything out of the ordinary that landed or took off from San Jose. Any jet that had an oddball or hybrid paint scheme - Mark and Mike would get it and let me know also. So while we were riding around the SEA ramp in Seattle 2007, this UAL 737-500 rolls by with a huge white nose...Mark and Mike were in their element and we chased this jet down to the take off point. So much fun!
