On April 6, 1926, Varney Air Lines—named after the company’s founder, Walter Varney—took off on its first mail flight in Pasco, Washington, bound for Elko, Nevada. A year later, a certain William Boeing established his own airline. Through acquisitions in the following years, the manufacturer took over — or rather, united — several companies, including Varney Air Lines, under one umbrella and renamed his Boeing Air Transport to United Aircraft & Transport Corporation. Finally, in 1931, the company name was shortened to United Air Lines. Since then, the airline has grown into one of the largest in the world: With nearly 1,100 aircraft—not even counting the United Express feeder fleet —United operates the largest fleet of aircraft worldwide. Following the Dreamliner already available in 1:500 scale (item no. 539050), the Centenary-787 is now available in two versions in 1/200 scale as well. One as a model from our SnapFit series, and the other as a one-time-only, limited-edition collector’s item featuring detailed imprints and true-to-scale landing gear with rubber tires (Item No. 573733). ,On April 6, 1926, Varney Air Lines—named after the company’s founder, Walter Varney—took off on its first mail flight in Pasco, Washington, bound for Elko, Nevada.
