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.

There was a celebration for 1939 at Sky Harbor. I am looking forward to the future of the new AA though.
