A319 (US Airways Piedmont Retrojet Late)

In 2006, US Airways painted four Airbus A319 aircraft in "Retro " paint schemes of some of the airlines that were merged into the airline through the years. One of these aircraft, N744P, proudly wears the colors of Piedmont Airlines. The aircraft was initially painted with a shade of blue that was too light, which many former Piedmont employees complained about. The aircraft was repainted with the proper shade of blue. Several other tweaks were made at that time, including red titles and the addition of the tail A319 title band. For the earlier version, see set 44s-A3N-38E
