One of only two aircraft in United's fleet wearing the airline's striking new "Stars and Stripes" livery — a deep blue fuselage wrapped in 50 white stars and diagonal red-and-white stripes, unveiled June 15, 2026 at Washington Dulles to mark America's 250th anniversary. N78285 is the sole Boeing 737-800 to carry the scheme (its widebody counterpart, a 787-10, wears the same livery on long-haul international routes), making this narrowbody a rare catch on shorter domestic and regional hops — including any appearance in the Detroit area.
Beyond the anniversary tie-in, the livery carries a tribute: each Stars and Stripes aircraft carries a commemorative plaque honoring United's active-duty service members and veterans, timed to a milestone in the airline's Military Pilot Program. It's a limited-run scheme on a limited-run route map — the kind of special livery that won't be around forever, and won't visit every airport.
This print captures N78285 in that livery, tail-number documented as part of DAP's ongoing special-livery series.
Available as: 13x19 print, signed with a Certificate of Authenticity.
