About This File
FS2004 US Airways Airbus A320-214 (old colors), registration N124US with lighting effects and updated FDE. US Airways was originally founded in the author's home state of Pennsylvania by the DuPont family in 1939 as a mail courier service, and eventually to a passenger carrier in 1949. US Airways has changed its name four times until taking the current name of US Airways. This airframe was delivered to US Airways from Airbus in November of 2000 and is the last CFM equipped 214 model purchased by US Airways. Subsequent to this, US Airways has been purchasing the IAE equipped 231 and 232 models of the A320. US Airways operates 66 A320's, using them to provide domestic service throughout the US and international service to the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico. The US Airways A320's show up virtually everywhere in the US and are real workhorses for them. Attention was paid to detail realism as much as possible. Some dirt and grime was added to the airframe in parts where it showed in photos of this aircraft. The lines on the vertical stabilizer were stressed as this part of these aircraft from US Airways look worst of any part of the airframe. Most repainted textures are 32-bit with no mipmaps (wings are DXT3). Repaint by Jeffrey S. Bryner.
