US Airways at Perth?

I may be wrong, but I paxed in and out of Perth last week and saw what I thought was a F100 in US Airways colours parked up over near the charter company hangars. I believe they flew Fokkers in the 90s, but would assume them long retired.

It was late twighlight and I only saw it breifly as we flared, so I didn't get a good look. Can anyone confirm or correct what I saw?

Most probably one of their ex Fk-100s. New owners don't always have the funds for new paint jobs, so they keep the basic colours and apply new titles (or no titles as the case may be).

Found it. Here it is:

Thanx for that Avman, thought it might belong to Network or Alliance. Just a very unusual paint job in that part of the world so it got my attention.
