America West's Fleet Transition To Us Paint Scheme

[Twicebaked]

I've sent my aging parents out on an espionage mission in La. We'll see if they can figure out how to use the digital camera or not.

I was sitting next to a AWA A320 in BOS last week while we were both waiting to cross Rwy 4L. It occurred to me that the "peek" at the new livery we've gotten, along with the current AWA paint scheme, may tell a lot.

If you change the green on the AWA airplanes to blue, and the orange to red, I suspect that what results will be the bulk of the new livery.

I've heard that the USAirways font will change; it would be very interesting to see the name "USAirways" placed on the new livery with the current "America West" font and in that huge size.

I think the tail will be closer to the current AWA design, but in two-toned blue. A modified USAirways flag logo will replace the current AWA logo. The red stripe at the top of the tail may be gone, also. Just my guess.

That's what I've been expecting.... AWA layout, with U colors... new tail logo... new type face (somewhere between Frontier's and HP's).... the tail is the mystery.

I hope they put the flag logo on the winglet's so you can see them from the airplane. Constant marketing while looking out the window.

You're spot on!!! 😉 Just add the US logo on the engine cowlings and imagine a new larger stylized flag over two-toned blue wavy lines on the tail. MIRROR IMAGE of HP in US colors!!! 😀

They just need to change the flag, and get rid of that single "dot" between the U & the S

I like the logo and the dot. The dot was included originally because test marketing said many people read it as the word "us". A dot after the U and the S looked silly (and abbreviated). While I know lots of people disagree with me, the flag logo is brilliant and is VERY marketable. Good logos tell a tale, are easy to see and can be placed easily on products, company-owned equipment and on marketing materials.

Now the next question is what the inside will look like.
