America West

1995-06

This special livery was unveiled on October 19, 1995 as the third and final state flag-themed scheme at America West. The frame was named after the first and only Eastern city where America West established a hub: Colombus. The hub had officially been launched on December 15, 1992.

The livery depicts an artist's rendering of the Ohio Burgee, the name given to the state's flag. The red disc is suggestive of the state's name and the colours are the very classic blue, white and red which remind us of the Federal flag.

N916AW	B757-23A	America West		1995-98
N901AW	B757-2S7	America West		1998-07

This striking scheme was unveiled on April 20, 1995. N916AW sported the colors of the flag of Arizona, where America West's Phoenix hometown and biggest hub was located. The scheme was unveiled about a year after Southwest painted its Arizona One logojet. When N916AW -which was a leased aircraft- was returned to the lessor in April 1998, sistership 901 gained the Arizona Flag scheme; she would be replaced in turn by A319 N826AW. The scheme and colour tones were slightly different on the two 757s.

The flag of Arizona consists of 13 rays of red and gold on the top half (the colors of the flag of Spain) and the number 13 represents the 13 original states of the USA. The copper star refers to the copper mining industry while the blue represents the Colorado River.
