AL 1 operated in the other direction, EWR-MSP-PHX also daily with a 72S. Note that USAir had officially changed its name from Allegheny Airlines on October 28, 1979 but was still using the "AL" two letter air carrier code.
Interesting. In August of '79 I purchased a 2 week Liberty Fare good for unlimited air travel over the US Air system. At that time I don't recall US Air operating any 727-200s - only a fleet of ex-United 727-022s. The -200s must've been added to the fleet shortly thereafter. Or maybe they were there all along and I just don't remember them. Question: Were they operated in a mixed configuration or were they all single class?
