Fleet History - United Airlines Boeing 767-200 (1982-2005)

The airline before it dragged passengers off planes and let dogs die in their cargo holds.
Welcome to my fleet histories series. In it I review year-by-year aircraft fleets of an airline.
In this video I go through the history of United Airlines' Boeing 767-200 fleet from 1982 until retirement in 2005. This does not include the airline's operations with former Continental 762s between 2010 and 2013 .

[@citybird4522]

Yen LopAm Yep :(

[@goldviationflights]

There's also a photo in 1983 at 0:18 of N612UA. Eighteen years before that fateful day.

[@eddieespinoza827]

Yeah it was sad that United 175 his demise by the Hijackers took 3 children Life and took that 1/2 year old girl and she was youngest victim of 9/11 it was really sad but people they think the second hijacked plane was a military plane or drone aircraft or a bomb goes off it was a Hijacked flight 175 when people they couldn't see United 175 window and the windows were too small that why they couldn't see the windows of United 175

[@miausculos_xd]

O.O

[@emmanuelyeager8159]

Yeah

[@adamwoodward2003]

1:50 the plane pictured (N612UA) is the 767-200 that was hijacked and crashed into the south tower of the WTC on 9/11/01

[@jalilmuhammad8270]

Adam Woodward that's United Airlines flight 175.

[@pullilili5845]

​​@@pullilili5845nd rest in peace for the south tower 😢 hundreds of cameras filmed this devastating crash to the world trade center

[@michaelwatt5007]

Thank you for this video, I love United and the 767. My favorite United livery is the current one with the updated all blue tail. However, I have always loved the 1990s battleship gray livery, too.

[@superswagproud7189]

1:51 if you know #N612UA was the United airlines 175 that crashed into twin tower.

[@brandnazvi9354]

1:52 that's United Airlines Flight 175

[@azurefire7266]

[@newsalertla]

Yep

[@Squeeze35i]

Omg, I just noticed that...

[@azurefire7266]

0:18 this is also the same aircraft, just in the previous livery... :(

[@Ibirdball]

So it is :/

[@80sfreak14]

2005? I read an article that said the last flight was in 2014.... Nice video anyway.

[@Ibirdball]

This video is about United's own 762s, they got more in 2010 from Continental and retired them in 2013.

[@80sfreak14]

Ibirdball yea, I just researched that now, the original one's were retired in 2005, nvm, I'm an idiot 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@Ibirdball]

xD

[@80sfreak14]

Ibirdball also the picture from 1986 can't be from 1986 as LOT Polish Airlines didn't operate the 767 until I think it was either 1989 or 1990..

[@Ibirdball]

I realised that just after I edited the video and saw the LOT 767... oh well :D.

[@a.gproductions_official]

1:52 That is N612UA The Plane involved in United Airlines Flight 175 that Crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York

[@eddieespinoza827]

That's right it was flight 175 that it been hijacked by the five members of Al qaeda Hijackers and smash into the south tower of the world trade center

[@supersky3286]

the N612UA (1999 photo ) was destroy 9/11/2001 in south tower :cccc

[@MrChickenTV]

Why did they use them on short range?

[@Ibirdball]

They used them on continental US services (like JFK-LAX) and trans-Atlantic flights (like JFK-FRA).

[@friendlysky7674]

I really wish I could see the interior, the supposed (not on the ER’s) 2-1-2 configured first class section with 2 rows, sadly, that might never be revealed, unless someone could post it online!

[@visionist7]

There's a lot of pictures of the 2-1-2 cabin online at least one of them will be of the 200 I'd expect

Wheres AT4?

[@Ibirdball]

Next week :)

[@al-wsp]

Ibirdball yay

[@al-wsp]

Do some of them still fly today?

[@Ibirdball]

As freighters, I think so.

[@al-wsp]

Ibirdball ok

[@axl1632]

only 3 of the 20 original United 767-200s are still flying, mostly all of them were stored or scrapped. One writen-off in the 9-11 attacks.

[@ualman1138]

Your picture from 1986 is incorrect. It cannot be from 1986 because United did not move the orange-red-blue cheat line down to make the ‘UNITED’ titles larger until 1989. Until 1989 the cheat line was set such that the red part was level with the windows with orange on top and blue below, with the small ‘UNITED’ titles.

[@myfuss7040]

how it is incorrect

[@unknown2em]

You're not wrong at all! The registration on United Airlines Flight 175 and the one in this picture have N612UA that's actually sad.

[@120Star]

Holy sheit 😶

[@jalilmuhammad8270]

Ibirdball, the Battleship Grey livery was retired in 2004, you know.

[@Ibirdball]

I know, but no UA 767-200s were painted in Blue Tulip, so I decided there was no need to include it for this video.

[@polotiks-wx]

1983 and 1999 is United 175 That crashed into the World Trade Center

[@globalaviator7350]

I really wish I got to fly in one of these

Did any of these planes still fly in 2006?

[@Ibirdball]

I don't know, although it looks like many ended up in the desert after UA service.

[@axl1632]

Only 3 of them still flying, 1 in Kam Air and 2 in Jet Asia Airways

[@animalloverjulian8243]

@@axl1632 how sad, I’m going to miss those planes

[@axl1632]

@@animalloverjulian8243 well, makes sense, since these aircrafts used the JT9D and since P&W stopped to make spare parts anymore, that's why the non-200ER's with JT9Ds are so pretty rare compared to the ones used by AA & Delta (which they use CF6s instead).

[@animalloverjulian8243]

@@axl1632 right, and also becuase the first planes were delivered in 1982 there is a risk of metal fatigue becuase the planes are almost 40 years old

[@justrosy5]

1:19 . People need to compare that to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJTKaZuDetKHjKc It's the same plane after all.

Are any 767-200s still in museums

Of United? I don't know. The only one I know of that's preserved is the "Spirit of Delta" at the Delta Museum.
