United's N331UA to operate the last 737 flight

United Airlines (Chicago) will operate the last Boeing 737 revenue between Salt Lake City and San Francisco tomorrow (October 27, 2009) with 737-322 N329UA (msn 24149). The pictured 737-322 N331UA (msn 24192) has been selected to operate the last UA 737 flight after more than 41 years.
The -300 was launched by SWA and USAir in 1981. According to my math... that's 28 years... unless the reporter is using some type of new fangled math. They were probably referring to the first 737.
