Was on R.River drive (still north of Puritas) heading toward CLE around 2:15-2:45p on 12/24 when I caught a glimpse of what looked like a flying Coke bottle on final. I can't tell you what airline or the type because the paint scheme at that distance just threw me. Anyone working that day have any ideas?

Hmmm...I was there at the time, but nothing is ringing a bell yet.  I'll have to check my shots from that day to see if that can jog my memory!  Any idea of the aircraft type?  Am I looking for a 737, an MD-80, an RJ, or what?

Looked like a 737 but I was at a pretty oblique angle when I did my double take.

Figured it out finally after seeing SWA "Shamu" sailing over I-90 the other day on final!

I meant to ask you if this was what you saw?:

It stopped by around then, but if Shamu was it, then nevermind!
