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:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
