Yep. Anyone who flies just a moderate amount recognizes carriers. United had a distinct livery then, as recognizable as Southwest is today. It's not some spook skill like some in this thread are implying. And on that note, he's definitely not a planefag because he called it a 737 - it was a 767.
So the guy recording just happened to also have that skill? Flying at that speed in broad daylight? At that year? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
I live by an airport and can identify 90% of all airlines. United would have been easy to determine.

Yes, I've never made an effort to memorize the paint schemes or aircraft type but I somehow know. Maybe I'm rainman?
How many airlines use silver colored planes?
