#INTHEAIREVERYWHERE

   The last US Airways flight departed from Philadelphia International Airport at 10:36 a.m. on Friday, October 16, making scheduled stops in Charlotte, North Carolina, Phoenix, and San Francisco before returning as a red-eye flight back to Philadelphia on Saturday.
   All future flights will fly under the American Airlines banner, following the completion of a merger announced in 2013.
   US Airways was formed in Pittsburgh as All American Aviation in 1939.
   It later operated as Allegheny Airlines before becoming US Airways. The final US Airways flight is Flight 1939, named for the airline's founding year.
   1939 was also the year of Judy Garland’s classic tune “Over The Rainbow,” presented here via YouTube. We salute US Airways and their decades of service, sending our best wishes to everyone at US Air and AA.
