This 737 nose has been a fixture at the Hiller Aviation Museum for close to 20 years. This aircraft began its United Airlines service in 1969 and was scrapped in 2000. On June 4, 1971, this 737 was flying as Flight 796 from Charleston to Newark when it was hijacked by a man armed with a handgun. The flight landed at Dulles International Airport, where the hijacker released everyone on board except the pilots. The hijacking ended peacefully with the arrest of the hijacker and no injuries to the crew. Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
