United N69818

Maybe this is old news, as I'm just coming on, but I believe the aircraft in Q's >>1739490 post is United Airlines B737-900ER One Hundred N69818. It is the only aircraft in their fleet with that particular paint scheme. Note the T and E above the gap in the windows. Other United -900ER A/C have a window under the T.

If the above is correct, airport is Washington Dulles at approximately 2230 EST. Engine is CFM56-7B27, the same TMS that spit the fan blade on SW 1380 a while back.

If you're referring to SW1380, no. That was a simple LCF blade failure well under the estimated/predicted LCF life limit at that point in time; with two failures, LCF inspection criteria and times were updated by FAA. 15,000 cycles, IIRC, rather than next engine shop visit. Gungan Frog is also turbofan engineer anon from those threads.

Damn. I dug and dug, but you are correct. I didn't find any other -900ERs like that in image searching, but you did. ThanQ for the correction.

Not notable.
