Was hunting for merger news and ran across this pic of a US 737.

US 737 complete with peeling paint. (http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/050429/050429_usair_hmed_10a.h2.jpg)

I'd like to see what these planes would look like if they were PHX/LAS based.

Actually that one looks pretty damn good. There's a few US planes where you can barely read US Airways on the side.

Thankfully I think you are going to get the chance to see that. BTW this is a GOOD paint job by Mr Crellins standards

I'm looking for a picture of a bird that I've seen several times the fully shows what JAX is talking about. I'll post it when I can find it

N532AU is the scary looking one:

One of the B767-200s that had like 5-foot diameter spots of no paint has been repainted rather recently and actually looks good.

Actually ship 651 was the one repainted and is one of the best looking ones in the fleet now.
