Following Delta's first B-767ER with the winglet modification installed to Runway 27R in ATL. I believe these winglets are about 11 feet tall.

A nifty little picket fence forms as Lady Aurora does her thing. This night was hampered by a full moon, combined with fog and wildfire smoke in the atmosphere. I wound up near the town of Bear Creek, WI on top of a hill where I had some decent visibility. August 26, 2018.

25th May 2018., Dublin Airport, Ireland
On Wednesday 23rd May 2018 while operating the Aer Lingus flight EI147 from Dublin to San Francisco, this airbus A330 was involved in an incident at the US airport
Having arrived at the gate, the aircraft was under tow the last few metres by a tug when one of its winglets were damaged on contact with part of the Terminal building
The aircraft is seen here arriving back at Dublin on Friday 25th May 2018
Notice it is missing the damaged winglet
View on the winglet of Boeing 737-700 of SkyUp Airlines with the Shakhtar Donetsk livery as flight PQ654.
Nice winglet reflections throughout this flight, and a bonus "glory" with the plane's shadow was a bonus.
Now retro-fitted with 'Split Scimitar' winglets.
This aircraft was delivered to GECAS and leased to Travel Service Airlines, Czech Republic as OK-TVS in May-11. It was regularly wet-leased to Sunwing Airlines, Canada during the winter season. Between Nov-12 / Apr-13, Dec-13 / Apr-14 and Nov-14 / Apr-15.
On it's return in Apr-15 the aircraft its standard winglets were replaced by 'Split Scimitar' winglets. It was wet-leased to Sunwing Airlines again between Nov-15 / Apr-16. In Dec-17 it was wet-leased to Swift Air, USA and returned to Travel Service Airlines in Mar-18.
In Jan-19 it was off to Sunwing, Canada, this time it was a dry lease as C-GPVS. While it was away, Travel Service Airlines transferred the aircraft the to their subsidiary, SmartWings Airlines and it returned to them as OK-TVS in May-19.
In Oct-19 it was leased to Sunwing as C-GPVS again and returned to SmartWings as OK-TVS in Mar-20, just as the COVID-19 Pandemic hit the world. It missed a couple of years but was leased to Sunwing again in Oct-23, this time as C-GTVS, returning to SmartWings as OK-TVS in May-24.
The aircraft was wet-leased to Eurowings in Apr-25 and returned to SmartWings in Oct-25. It was then wet-leased to SpiceJet, India four days later. It returned to SmartWings at the end of May-26. Oddly, it's still in full Travel Service Airlines livery and is currently operating services for SmartWings Slovakia and SmartWings Hungary as well as its own services from Czechia.

A Blast from the Past - from slide to film then scanned..
-This was another significant trip for me.... the one that genuinely sparked my interest in aviation. It's my first trip that I have a conscious memory of.. YUL-LHR-YUL. I recall wanting to fly a VC-10, the plane of the day that was most fascinating for me however we ended up on a 707 which initially disappointed me...however, I loved it so much I never stopped looking at planes after. So here's the BOAC 707 that pretty much started it all for me back in August 1970. A Qantas 707 VJet was parked next to us. Everything at Heathrow was amazing to me...it was my first airplane heaven LOL :-) No registration number though sadly.. not even sure of the variant. BOAC eventually merged with BEA and formed British Airways.
*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Boeing 707
Manufacturer: Boeing (USA)
Main Role: Large Capacity long range jet
Basic design: 4 wing mounted engines, single aisle narrow body jet.
Capacity: Roughly around 110-202 passengers
Range: 6820 - 6920km
First delivery date: 1958 (to Pan Am)
In Production: 1958-1979
Still in production in 2008: No
Easily confused for: DC-8 series,
Main identifying points: The Antennae at the top of it's tail is the most recognizable feature of this aircraft. The fuselage looks like a stretched 737 and it has four small styled engines mounted on the wings..
Examples of Main Operators: This aircraft was, along with the DC-8, the primary inter-continental aircraft used by airlines world wide in the 1960s and 1970s. It was replaced by the Boeing 747, DC-10, L1011 and A300 in the late 1970s and 1980s. Few examples are left flying today. Many are cargo jets and most are located in Asia, Africa and South America. Iran Air still flies a handful in their region. John Travolta bought and revamped an old Qantas 707 and is flying it around the world today. The tail would look like the tail in the photo about (Red tail to the right of the BOAC 707 in the photo) That is likely your best bet at seeing one. The US military still flies a variant of the 707 as does NATO.
Key operators were: Pan Am, TWA, American, Eastern, Northwest, Western, BOAC, Air France, Lufthansa, Aer Lingus, Olympic, TAP, MEA, Iran Air, PIA, Air India, South African, Varig, Aerolineas Argentinas, Qantas, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines
Finally got a chance to take some proper photos of my new car! It was harder than I was expecting to be able to light the body lines they way I wanted, but I think I got most of what I wanted.
Strobist Info: Captured using a Westcott IceLight 2, inside the Westcott 1x3' strip box, light painted and composited to taste.
As for the car, it's fantastic! This is a MY2017 BMW M2 with Vorsteiner Flow-Forged VFF-103 19" wheels (finished in Platinum Gunmetal), and BMW Carbon Fiber M performance parts: front/side winglets, mirror caps, and rear diffuser. Also installed IND's painted front reflectors (hate those orange stock reflectors!), and tinted the windows 30% grey.
N37277.... United became the first airline in the world to fly passengers with Spilt Scimitar Winglets on this Boeing 737-824 (SWW)..Seen here in CLE after arriving from IAH cn 31595
I believe this is the first photo on Flickr of this aircraft with the Scimitar winglets
delivered 3-27-2002 to Continental
flight tests with Spilt Scimitar Winglets in June 2013
Was a great time on Lake Superior....Lady Aurora kept me company all through the night and was still dancing at dawn...
Anyone know what the bright star is to the lower right? Cast a very nice reflection. So far I haven't been able to nail the name down.

Here is the other old lighthouse that is on Hecla Island, this one is at the west end, and was made into a "welcome" sign for the Provincial Park. You can see that portion of the structure on the right side. The aurora was just ramping up as a massive cloud bank was rolling in from the southwest, which would spoil any further viewing all night long. The moon is also rising, I placed it behind the lighthouse in this shot.
