After seeing your shots, I need to ask Tom Gibson about the reg number. I'm not sure it is accurate for a United aircraft. The reason I say that, is that 73 was the official number designator for Frontier, and 109 was one of Frontiers aircraft. There is no doubt that Frontier acquired the aircraft from United, as that is where most of our 340 aircraft came from, but I'm thinking the aircraft was re-registered as N73109 after aquistion by Frontier, as most of our aircraft were N73XXXF.
Now, my curiousity is peaked!
