Todays round of pictures, a bunch of new arrivals and some old gems of mine 
First up is my new US Airways 737-300, N166AW. Produced by GeminiJets in 2009, this model has a little wear but is perfectly acceptable in my eyes. The real plane was delivered to America West all the way back in 1986. After the merger in the early 2000s, the frame lived out its career with US Airways before being retired by them and picked up by Peruvian Airlines in 2011. Now adorning the registration OB-1960P, it was finally put to rest and scrapped in 2014.
Next up is N822AW, an A319 showing colors of Nevada's state flag. Delivered to America West in 2001, this A319 still flies for American Airlines today (leased by US Bank apparently). Nicknamed "Battle Born", these colors lived on this frame from 2005-2015. It was chosen to represent the Las Vegas hub (rip lol) acquired by US Airways after the merger. It currently flies the standard AA colors.
Getting his final bags loaded up, is an late 2010 release by GeminiJets. N837AW had the Arizona Cardinals NFL team colors since the America West merger in 2005 all the way up to the American Airlines merger in 2015, where it is still active in the normal AA scheme. This, alongside the Arizona State livery was introduced to represent the Phoenix hub acquired by US Airways after the merger. It was delivered to America West in 2001.
@LeoMuse747 Darth Vader! My new "perfect child" aircraft in my collection. The March of 2000 GeminiJets US Airways Navy scheme 757-200, registered N633AU. I paid a measly (in my opinion) 47.50USD on ebay (including shipping from Asia!) for this basically 98% brand new model. Its gorgeous and the ebay pictures did not do it as much justice as it does to the naked eye in good sunlight. While an old and outdated mould, i've never been more excited to have a plane in my collection as of late.
N633AU began its life with US Air in 1995. In 2005 after the AW merger, this plane was retrofitted with winglets and given the new registration, N202UW (borderline the sister plane to the "white" 757-200 featured earlier!). When American Airlines retired their fleet of 757s, it was also acquired by New Pacific Airlines. It is unfortunately stored as of 2023 at this current moment.
N375US is a 737-300 produced by GeminiJets back in 2004. It was delivered to US Air in 1984 where it lived its whole career until retirement/scrapped in 2006.
One more for good measure
Photos are still on my ~basically finished~ PHX layout. Expect a full separate post about it soon! Enjoy

Wonderful pics! The 757 is looking really good! Great to see the B737-300 in the same livery (and in the latest US Airways livery too).

Also just an update on my number for the full collection:
US AIRWAYS/LUS:
36/82 Complete (44%)
MAINLINE:
29/65 Complete (45%)
EXPRESS:
7/17 Complete (41%)
I won’t be updating these numbers on here every second I order a new model but if there are big enough changes or maybe once every 6 months or so I will post updated numbers/percentages. Numbers are usually 99% accurate on my MADb profile as I update that and my personal list on my phone with every purchase as I make them. As well, I have dug a bit more on MADb and found a few more i’d generally like to collect, such as the AA E190 and a few other random Airbus’ and such so the percentages stay roughly the same regardless unfortunately lol. Also account for a bit of human error in the percentages as I copy and paste certain details between things every so often. roughly every 6 months to year i’ll do proper deep dives on everything just to make sure i'm still on track with my numbers.
Since the start of 2025, I’ve been able to acquire 11 aircraft towards my collection. About half way there now! Since i’ve gotten back into this hobby last summer, i’ve acquired about 5-10 more on top of that, mostly being American Airlines versions of planes like the heritage A321s, the AE Dash 8s and some regional airplanes from republic/skywest/others that i’m not really counting here with my numbers. I am incredibly proud of my progress towards this goal, even if it puts a hefty hole in my wallet. I can’t wait to have a spot to have every model organized on a shelf to do a big group photo with the US fleet someday.
