Retro Aircraft

[Hope777]

Does anyone know why the America West Retro Aircraft has its Winglets painted Different from the other Retro Aircraft? On ALL the other Retro's, the USAIRWAYS LOGO is painted on the Winglet. The HP Retro still has the AW Logo on it. Also noticed a few of the HP New Paint Job A/C have an AW Logo on the Nose Gear Door, Why is that?

Since there are a couple of cities where US/HP both serve, and the paint jobs are becoming the same on both sides, they wanted another way to be able to tell whether the actual plane was East or West so they added the HP logo on the nose wheel door as another way to tell.

I would guess it's just that all they did was take an AWA plane in (which all had logo on winglet), had the "America West" removed and US Airways painted on.
