I love America West

Just as the name implies, I love flying the America West 757! It’s my #1 favorite ✏️ livery, followed dangerously close with Uzbekistan Airways and Lapa! Today was the last day of my 1st of 4 semesters at collage, and I figured doing an America West flight would be the perfect way to end a fantastic (and stressful 😅) semester‼️ Please enjoy these photos!

Bro didn’t tell me he was in Eugene… Hoping it’s 3D In this update 🤞🏼

That’s skill I’m yet to have and I’m almost on year 2 with ifaet.
The quickest I ever built one was 35 minutes but it was a dirt strip

I highly recommend putting on a Netflix show, or a movie and just settling into the night to work.

That’s how I finish KORF 3D lmao

Until about a year ago I thought I’d never flown on a 757 and never would, until I found my old GoPro. I found out that when I was 9 years old I flew a 757 from SEA-KOA.

So I’m a certified 757 fan I guess???

Delta I assume?

Yeah.

I absolutely adore that America West livery though, it just says everything about what a retro livery is supposed to be.

Minus one now (since you’re ofc giving one to me)

Nice shots! There was a time where I used to travel with America West. Brings back some memories.

No. I’m not

I love it so much!
Fun fact - my neighbor at home in Jackson used to be the head of the complaint department at AWE 😂😂

Such a great livery on the 757.
