This is the view that most people have on their way on holiday. I could have just taken a photograph of the winglet but I wanted to capture to feeling of being in the aircraft and seeing the winglet. The window seemed to frame the view well.
Seen arriving Oshkosh, WI as part of the 2016 Wisconsin Special Olympics Truck Convoy. Always a great event!!

Apparently this device reduces the aircraft drag by recovery of the tip vortex energy of the wing. Actually, I thought the goat and myself were having eye contact, making the flight go more rapidly...
