Heritage Liveries
In addition several airplanes have been painted with heritage liveries, incorporating the look of the previous airlines, but including the US Airways titles. US Airways has displayed considerable historical care in the design of the heritage liveries, repainting the same airplane to achieve a more historically accurate livery.
The Piedmont heritage plane was repainted in a more accurate blue, the airplane type was painted on the tail to match the Piedmont standard, and the US Airways title was changed to red, to better reflect the Piedmont livery.
The Allegheny heritage plane was repainted with a more accurate grey underbelly, a more appropriately sized running strip, and the registration was moved above the window, to more accurately reflect the Allegheny livery.
The PSA heritage plane was repainted with a larger more accurate smile.
The America West mid-1990s livery heritage plane however has not had any similar repainting. Additionally, there is a 1980s livery heritage plane reflecting America West's original livery.

Famous quotes containing the word heritage:
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
