Because its just a commercial US Airways plan that has absolutely nothing to do with the team. There is also an Eagles plan that I have seen.

don’t those planes actually fly the team around when they are actually travelling? I know Most NHL teams have their own planes.

so is there any other team from pitts that is playing in buffalo? it doesnt have to just be for the steelers, why spend the money on several planes when you can have one for your city for all the sports teams? just a thought. im sure its not really for any regular travel. usually just for teams

^ thats what I thought, but as Jager pointed out it is just a normal plane painted up:

> [@Some News Website"](#):

> PITTSBURGH – Fans of the five-time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers will now have their team logo and colors flying around the US Airways system on a freshly-painted Airbus A319 set to make its formal debut Wednesday at the US Airways maintenance facility at Pittsburgh International Airport.
> 
> US Airways Chairman and CEO Doug Parker will be on hand with representatives of the Steelers organization to formally dedicate the aircraft alongside US Airways employees.

I was too. Actually i was thinking of how cheap a bastard Ralph Wilson is that the Bills don’t have a plane and the steelers do. But oh well they really don’t it is just a marketing ploy by the airline.
