United is offering an extremely rare, up-close and personal look at the plane maintenance facility that services some of the world’s largest aircraft.

You’ll get the inside scoop on all basic maintenance operations, from overhaul of major machinery like engines and landing gear, to routine work on composites and components. With over 30 years of commercial and military aviation experience, Managing Director Tony Spaulding will give the welcome remarks and guide you through the facility that not many passengers have seen. You'll hear remarks from Sal Hernandez, United's first chief photographer at San Francisco International Airport. As a special treat he'll also be showing some of his best pieces from United's history.  

Get closer than most flyers will ever be: below the wing and alongside a 777 engine that produces 90,000 pounds of thrust. Buy now.
