The Twitter feed of US Airways posted an extremely not-safe-for-work picture on Monday that remained up for roughly one hour before it was eventually removed.

The tweet from the company's feed was in response to a customer's tweet (screenshot below). The account then published a tweet in response to @ElleRafter that contained a lewd photo involving a woman and a model airplane, which Mashable has opted not to publish due to the nature of its content.

US Airways eventually deleted the tweet with the picture and posted an apology.

US Airways told Mashable that it is investigating the incident.
