PHOENIX (AP)-- PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The final US Airways flight made its final round trip journey Friday between Philadelphia and San Francisco.
The plane is Flight 1939, named for the airline's founding year.
The flight departed from Philadelphia International Airport at 10:36 a.m. Friday.
The Airbus A321 made scheduled stops in Charlotte, North Carolina and Phoenix before going on to San Francisco. It will be returning as a red-eye flight back to Philadelphia on Saturday.
Flight 1939 taxied under a water arch as it made its way to its gate, A7, at Sky Harbor International Airport Friday afternoon.
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. It later operated as Allegheny Airlines before becoming US Airways.
