PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The final US Airways flight is heading from San Francisco to Philadelphia, making the last leg of its roundtrip journey.
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; Phoenix and San Francisco. It departed at 1:07 a.m. Saturday as a red-eye flight back to Philadelphia.
