United's Workhorse: A Comprehensive History of a Boeing 767-424(ER) (N96059)

Welcome to the Nova Airmada channel hello to my future subscribers and my loyal subscribers. Today’s aircraft is the United Airlines Boeing 767-424(ER). painted in the first livery United Airlines had after it’s merger with Continental Airlines . Please watch to the end to see this aircraft’s full history.
Built by the Boeing Company in the early 2000’s from the Boeing Aircraft factory in Everrett Washington. This Boeing 767 was delivered for a long passenger service career at it’s first operator, Continental Airlines, on February 12, 2002. The aircraft received it’s only registration so far of N69059, and painted in Continental Airlines 1990’s era livery, which it would wear till the merger with United in 2012. For it’s entire history so far, this aircraft has only had a few minor incidents that produced no injuries, nor damage to the aircraft. This airliner is equipped with General Electric CF6 series High Bypass Turbofans. These engines would produce up to 60,600 lbf or 270 kN each. With these engines, and a maximum fuel load, the aircraft could fly up over 5,600 nmi or over 10,400 km.
Continental Airlines would last 10 more years, before being merged into United Airlines, in 2012. At this point, the aircraft would receive a new livery, which was basically the old Continental Airlines livery, but with United Airlines titles over the forward passenger windows. As of the middle of 2023, this aircraft has not received the most recent update to the United Airlines Livery, that began to be painted on other United aircraft in 2019. With both Continental and United Airlines, the aircraft could carry up to an exit limit of 409 passengers, but this was usually limited to a three class layout of around 243 people. Flight speed of a standard 767-400 model is at maximum, 486 kn or 900 km/h. At the time of this video, it is unknown when United Airlines will either update the livery on this aircraft or retire the aircraft, as it is now over 20 years old.
