Arizona

N826AW
2007-15

Replacing company 757 N901AW, yet with a much less colourful livery. The flag of Arizona consists of 13 rays of red and gold on the top half, the colors of the flag of Spain, representing the 13 original states. The copper star represents the copper mining industry while the blue represents the Colorado River. Note this aircraft never gained American titles in 2013-15 before being repainted in the standard AA scheme.

Replacing 757 N915AW. The design of the livery includes a silver star (a reference to the state's nickname, The Silver State) and the “Battle Born” banner referring to Nevada’s birth as a state during the Civil War in 1864. Green sagebrush (the state flower) with yellow flowers is dislayed around the star as it is on the flag. Note this aircraft never gained American titles in 2013-15 before being repainted in the standard AA scheme.

America West  Heritage Jet #2

In the 1980s livery. Part of the 5 aircraft in the US Airways Heritage special schemes collection. America West started operations in 1983 and merged with US Airways in 2005. Unlike the other 4 US Airways Heritage Jets, this aircraft never gained the American titles and was repainted in standard colours in 2015 as American decided to keep just one heritage scheme per airline.

Philadelphia Eagles 

N709UW
2006-15

Philadelphia was US Airways' main hub, and the airline was a logical sponsor for the local NFL team. A good side of the merger with America West: it was actually US' first real logojet.
