USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
Fresh out of the paint shop in ROW, US A-319 N733UW arrived in CLT this afternoon and our friend Jay Selman was onhand at the hangar for the arrival. Love it or hate it here she is !

Appropriately she is scheduled to pass thru PIT twice tomorrow (8-30) and I will post her first couple of LGA visits, so far not until Labor Day but that could easily change, I don't have any days off this weeks so I will monitor closely.
N717UW ferried to ROW last night for painting into the Carolina Panthers scheme, have seen the renderings, kind of like the Eagles but with more white fuselage (unfortunately) a nice blue tail, and a pretty mean looking Panther on the aft fuselage !

Ron, is it flying for US Airways or America West?
Thanks

Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
This is an East bird, which is why it was delivered to CLT.

Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
All you have to do besides the reg to know if it is an east or west is look at the engines. the east uses the CFM while the west uses the V2500.
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
Looks good, I think the yellow and black really stand out nicely.
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
Thats a very sharp scheme.. .looking forward to catching this one.

Very nice plane!!!, I wish it looked more like the eagles, but never the less noticeable. Is it me or the lighting or what not- but does the forward part of the fuse look off white?
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
I think they did a rather nice job with it!
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
The most fitting but unlikely scheme in my opinion would be one for the New York Jets but I might just be a weeeeeeee bit partial. I am pretty excited about the Panthers one personally.
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
I hate the Steelers, but I'm looking forward to catching this one anyway... :)
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
BORING! now ron, the panther's scheme might be a bit better due to the size of the logo but this is just embarasing. it's like they're stuck using left-over paint based on the lack of color...
Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
Unless the routings change the Steelers Logo Jet will be making her first LGA visit on Monday 9-3. Arriving on US 1644 @ 1447 departinmg to PIT on US 1260 @ 1540, in case anyone wants to try and get shots.

Re: USAirways Pittsburgh Steelers A-319 is here !
She is gone, I was just walking through the secure doors when she touched down. She is a good looking plane but the part where it says Steelers on the nose needs to be much darker. Right now it looks like dust or worn paint from a distance.

I agree Ed, thanks for documenting the dedication so well. Every once in a while US does something kind of cool, and I found out yesterday why 733UW was chosen for the Steelers logojet. The Steelers where founded in July 1933 or 7/33. And for those that did not see the Special scheme thread here is an article from usatoday on the dedication.
