A United Boeing 737-700, registration N21723 performing flight UA-2144 from Newark,NJ to Saint Louis,MO (USA), was climbing out of Newark's runway 22R when the crew reported an issue with their nose wheel door and stopped the climb at 5000 feet. While working the checklists and communicating with dispatch and maintenance the crew updated they were having a problem with the nose gear doors, it was very noisy and they needed to return, no emergency was declared. The aircraft maintained 5000 feet for about 90 minutes before returning to Newark for a safe landing on runway 22L about 105 minutes after departure.

A replacement Boeing 737-700 registration N39726 reached Saint Louis with a delay of about 3.5 hours.
