Don't forget there are a few of the "heritage livery" planes that can be spotted at hubs occasionally.

HP flew 752s which I believe they picked up from Eastern. Did a lot of trips in those - loved climbing out of SNA in the hot rod of the sky!
I don't recall HP ever having 321s though. Just 737, 319, 320 and 757. They did have a couple of 747s for a while and proved that they ARE the fastest way to lose money!

Maybe not in the old liveries, but I was recently on a 32x plane which the FAs said was ex-US and that was why it didn't have any power ports. So they may be harder to visually spot perhaps, but there are some un-updated-in-some-way legacy US planes still flying around.

It's in the new AA retro livery. There are no planes left in the original actual liveries of AA, US or HP. The previous post referenced being able to see "old planes" about to be retired in CLT. There is no way to tell "old planes" by the liveries given all are in the new liveries, including the retro AA, PSA, Piedmont, TWA, etc. liveries.

All LUS planes have Wifi except 5 757s. There are no LUS Airbus planes without Wifi.

Picture taken in JAN20 - I do not see any part of the new livery on there.
