USAir: What could have been.....

Bill G · 05-13-2002, 11:12 AM

but thankfully they didn't pick this paint scheme. Even though the final USAir paint scheme wasn't much better. I do think our current US Airways paint scheme is one of the finest flying. I suppose since I fly for them I could be a little bit biased. Here's the link for the expiermental paint scheme. I still haven't figured out how to post the actual picture. No comment Ozz!

These were the same schemes tested on PSA's 146 planes.
Not a Southern thing a Southern California thing!

Man thats a interesting paint scheme....

still i like the current colors better....
when i worked on an internship for usairways express-piedmont on HHH (hilton head island, SC) we called the DASH8s in those colors the stealth 8s
yea its a stupid nickname but it was in 98 when they first started to paint them in those colors so it was a cool site...

I think these colors only look good on smaller planes, I think the colors they have nowlook better on larger planes.
