	N937ML (cn 47005) I don't know the date on this photo, so 1990 is an approximation, although I guess it's pretty close. This Express One DC-9 is parked on gate C-10 along with a CO 747 diversion that was parked on gate C-04. This was back before the new parking garage and the D concourse were built, and if you look in the distance, the iconic hangars on the north end still display the United and American Airlines titles they had for decades.

	N810NY (cn 49264) Parked on the C concourse during the beginning of the nineties. Under the wing, you can just see the true "old firehouse", located about where spot five is now on Inner Juliet ("Inner J").

	United Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10	Cleveland - Hopkins International (CLE/KCLE) USA - Ohio, - -, 1990	Jon Carpenter - OPShots Collection Contact
	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	N182OU (cn 46619) The date of 1990 is an arbitrary one, but it's a good median date for this photo from somewhere in the late eighties/early nineties. United had regular DC-10 service at Hopkins for quite some time, ChrisJake can probably fill us in on the details! This DC-10 currently flies for FedEx as N385FE, and was photographed by "NwFedEx757" at Portland, Oregon in June 2010.

	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	HZ-HM5 (cn 193G-1250) The Cleveland Clinic has long been a draw for middle-eastern dignitaries due to the quality of care found there. Visits by these dignitaries have always been a treat for Cleveland spotters, like this Saudi TriStar from some time in the early nineties.

	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	N11985 (cn 119) This former Eastern Airlines A300 is getting serviced on the C concourse sometime at the end of the eighties and beginning of the nineties. The catering truck is pre-Chelsea, so if anyone can help pinpoint the date, that would be great! (Jon Carpenter/ OPShots Collection)

	N78019 (cn 20527) A head-on view of this classic 747 as it was parked up at the northeast corner at Hopkins in 1994. A whole new breed of 747 is now beginning to wear the same colors, albeit with different titles, as the combined United/CO fleet begins to integrate in 2011. (Jon Carpenter/ OPShots Collection)

	N78019 (cn 20527) Dedicated to Jon Carpenter, who, after 23 years with Continental in Cleveland will be leaving the company at the end of this month, March 2011. It is he who has gifted this site with his wonderful collection of photos to share, and for that we thank him. He will be missed by all and we wish him the best! That's the man himself giving the thumbs up in front of this CO classic. (Jon Carpenter/ OPShots Collection)
