Some cool United images:
Palm Island, World Island, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (NASA, International Space Station Science, 01/13/10)

Man-made archipelagos near Dubai, United Arab Emirates are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 22 crew member on the International Space Station. The municipality of Dubai is the largest city of the Persian Gulf emirate of the same name, and has built a global reputation for large-scale developments and architectural works. Among the most visible of these developments -- particularly from the perspective of astronauts onboard the ISS -- are three man-made archipelagos. The two Palm Islands (Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali) appear as stylized palm trees when viewed from above. The World Islands evoke a rough map of the world from an air- or space-borne perspective. Palm Jumeirah and the World Islands are highlighted in this view. Palm Jumeirah (lower left) was begun in 2001 and required more than 50 million cubic meters of dredged sand to raise the islands above the Persian Gulf sea level. Construction of the Palm Jumeirah islands was completed in 2006; they are now being developed for residential and commercial housing and infrastructure. Creation of the 300 World Islands (upper right) was begun in 2003 and completed in 2008, using 320 million cubic meters of sand and 37 million tons of rock for the surrounding 27 kilometer-long protective breakwater. Also visible at the lower edge of the image is another notable built structure -- the Burj Tower (white rectangle at lower right and inset image). The Burj Tower -- or Burj Khalifa -- stands 800 meters high, and is currently the world's tallest structure. The photograph captures enough detail to make out the tapering outline of the building as well as its dark needle-like shadow pointing towards the northeast.

United 737-300
Image by caribb
Leg room on this Boeing 737 I flew from Cincinnati to Chicago wasn't all that bad.
*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Boeing 737
Manufacturer: Boeing Corp. Chicago Illinois (USA)
Main Role: small to large capacity, short, medium & long range mainline jetliner
Basic design: twin engined, single aisle wide narrowbody jet. The airframe is based on the Boieing 707 and today comes in a multitude of sizes ranging from the stubby short range small capacity 737-500 to the long range large capacity 737-900.
Photo: The interior of a United 737-300 older out of production model of the second generation 737s. The lighted wall panels are no longer typical of the current 737 cabins although you do get a good sense of what an airline can offer it's passengers in terms of six seat across comfort in economy.
