ETOPS certified. Is this standard on all B737-900?

Nice dust spots.

Sweet. Can you still see the "Continental" underneath the "UNITED" letters?

On all 700's, 800's, 900's, and 900ER's.

Only the 500 are not ETOPS.

We fly them everyday on the longest ETOPS route that exists: to Hawaii.

Not an ETOPS flight I know, but I find IAH-ANC at 2838nm (8.5hrs) in a 737-800 very impressive.

LAX-HNL 2221nm.

Honest question here...flying from western US down to Australia isn't longer? Or is it that there are enough specks of sand scattered about the south Pacific with suitable airfields that keeps those flights close to 'land'?

I think Otto was referring to routes flown by the 737. Everything is ETOPS from the US to AUS.

No, US to Hawaii is the longest ETOPS route for any twin. The South Pacific is full of available airports. It's not the longest flight, just the longest "ETOPS" segment. Still no big deal. I think there are more impressive ETOPS flight, such as the Polar flights. I used to do NY to China over the North Pole area.
