United Airlines is marking its 100th anniversary with a unique collectible release. It has turned its iconic “Rhapsody in Flight” into a limited-edition vinyl record designed for aviation and music enthusiasts alike. The special release features a modern remix of the airline’s signature theme along with a bonus track that includes the original version of the song that has long been associated with United’s brand identity.
Beyond the music, the vinyl itself incorporates a zoetrope design (a visual animation technique that creates the illusion of motion when the record spins). As it plays, the artwork comes to life and adds an interactive and nostalgic element to the listening experience. The design blends United heritage with creative storytelling and makes the record both a functional audio piece and a display-worthy collectible.
The vinyl will be available in extremely limited quantities, with sales opening on April 7th at noon EST through United’s online store. Given the airline’s milestone anniversary and the popularity of aviation memorabilia, the release is expected to generate strong interest among collectors and frequent flyers.
The release is part of United’s broader centennial celebration, commemorating 100 years of operations and its evolution into one of the world’s largest airlines. By reimagining “Rhapsody in Flight” in a modern format while honoring its original version, United is connecting its heritage with a new generation of travelers and fans.
Anthony’s Take: The limited-edition vinyl underscores how the airline is blending tradition with innovation as it celebrates a century in the skies. This is a pretty cool collectible.
