Tomorrow 10/10 PHL-SFO in 23F. First sold out well in advance, but I'm #1 on the upgrade list, for what it's worth 
(Edit: Snagged a seat in first that had opened up ^)
Return isn't 'til 10/19, so missing out on the final US flight 1939 SFO-PHL redeye on 10/16.

Looking like my last is likely 1925 TPA-PHL on 10/15, though it there's likely a greater than 50-50 chance of my needing to change it to something else.

Mine turned out to be US 475 ATL-CLT-SFO (same aircraft for both segments, but not same crew) on September 20.
I don't recall the flight number of my first HP trip (America West), but it was SAN-PHX connecting to PHX-TUS. My AA "member since" date reset to Sep. 4, 1989 and this is probably the date of that flight. I did this weekly for several weeks for work and earned a free trip to HNL out of it due to some sort of promo. As far as I can tell, I never flew US in the period after it merged with HP. I flew several trips this year on US.

So now, my last flight on US was... I can't even remember. It might have been SEA-PHL-LAX?

Did a round trip 8/15-8/16: RDU-LAX-PHX-LAX-RDU. Nice mix of HP and US metal, I event went 4/4 on the upgrades.
My last time flying "real" US flights though was on 8/9: PIT-DCA-RDU. That felt like a much more US trip.

Flying out the final night, 10/16 on PHL-ILM...leaving at 9:30 PM and arriving at 10:55 PM...has to be one of the last flights to leave out of Terminal F in PHL as a US flight (Air Wisconsin).

Mine was today. It was an excellent flight: on time and the lead FA was superb: when I ordered a glass of wine, he brought the bottle and an empty glass to me, described the wine and gave me a taste before pouring the whole glass; like in a nice restaurant!
