Airbus A319 (N828AW)

This wasn't a "poor" livery scheme, but the other one that came later was definitely more vibrant.

This livery has received quite a lot of exposure over the years. There was even a model of it offered, now on ebay:

With history going as far back as to include the Piedmont Speedbird!

Howdy, Tom ... (Wave) ... Initially, I had planned to post this old "Flashback" pic of mine two days ago. However, when I saw that "N828AW" was scheduled to make a PHX-RNO run yesterday evening and then fly out this morning to DFW (at this moment it is enroute) I decided to post it now. (Grin) Yeah, I know; there's no real "significance" except to me but that's the way I work. (lol)
Hey, since you mentioned plane models, perhaps you can steer me in the right direction. I've been trying to find a model, preferably "centerpiece" size, of a Mohawk Convair, either a Cosmopolitan 240 or a Metropolitan 440, in MOH's black-and-gold-on-white Air Chief livery. I found one once but it was not a Convair; it was a FH-227 like the one in the pic I posted yesterday. If you might know where I should look, I'd appreciate getting a nudge toward that site.

Great shot and history of the US Airways in old America West livery Gary! I remember when that livery was a regular here in BOS.

You are correct, History Book photo ! 5x nice with the snow.
