*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)

Name: McDonnell Douglas MD-11

Manufacturer: McDonnell Douglas (Now Boeing) (USA)

Main Role: High capacity, long range mainline jetliner

Basic design: Three engined, double aisle wide body jet. Airframe based on the DC-10.

Photo: A close up of the MD-11 winglet. This is very distinctive and it's design unique to the MD-11. I t has both a large upward wing extension and a small downwards extension. No other aircraft has two different size extensions in this manner so very easy to spot and use and an identifier of the MD-11. If you see a somewhat identical plane without these winglets then you are looking at it's older predecessor the DC-10 which this aircraft was based on. Those have no winglets and have shorter fuselages.

Arriving at the terminal it wasn't long before "sunny" California turned my photo into art. Look Ma, no filters!

Seen blasting off from a very wet Birmingham Airport, this Boeing 737-800 has been retrofitted with Split Scimitar Winglets.

With or without winglets, the Boeing 767 is certainly a majestic bird despite their numbers are being reduced following the introduction of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner...

Delta still remains the largest operator of Boeing 767's anywhere in the world, with 95 examples in service, 74 of which are on the -300 series (in a mix of original and extended range versions) and 21 of the more aesthetic -400ER.

N176DZ is still unusually still flying around without retrofitted blended winglets which has become the norm on the majority of 767-300ER's. There are still a number of 767-300ER's with Delta that lack the massive blended winglets, 8 in total which excludes the standard -300 series are likely not to receive the retrofits. The -400ER on the other cannot receive the winglets owing to the pronounced raked wingtip design.

N176DZ is also quite modern within Delta's fleet, delivered new in April 1999 and although winglet-less, she has received revised interiors since May 2013. She is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80C2B6F engines.

On a different note, Delta continues its aggressive expansion from Seattle where in recent press releases by the airline they are designating a hub... Which will certainly ruffle the feathers of Alaska Airlines. In regards to what I think about the battle (if you can call it that) between the two airlines, no comment.

Boeing 767-332ER N176DZ takes-off from London Heathrow (LHR) on DL36 to Seattle-Tacoma (SEA), Washington.

Well it's up and away, heading south for just over an hour.

Where did I do?

More clues later.

Enjoy.

*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)

Name: Boeing 737-800

Manufacturer: Boeing (USA) .

Main Role: medium capacity medium range mainline jetliner

Basic design: Two engines single aisle narrow body jet. Airframe based on the Boeing 707. It is essentially a 737-400 replacement.

Capacity: Roughly 162-189 passengers

Range: 3500km -5400km

First delivery date: 1998

Still in production in 2006: Yes

Easily confused for: A320, A321, 727 & other models of the 737

Main identifying points: Look for the classic Boeing cockpit windows with 4 "eyebrow windows above the main windows although in the most recent examples all the eyebrow windows have been eliminated, Two traditional wing mounted engines, less oval shape than the 737-300 or -400 because of the new larger and higher wing, winglets are an option so they may or may not be on them... if so like in the photo they are blended winglets swept up very high and quite dramatic, a kinked leading edge on the tail and the tail cone shown in the picture. This is a very popular selling plane and you'll likely see it at any major airport worldwide.

Examples of Main Operators: Continental, Westjet, Delta, Air China, China Southern, Aeromexico, American Airlines, Qantas just to name a few.

*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)

Name: Airbus A330 (A330-200, A330-300)

Manufacturer: Airbus Industries Europe (France/Germany)

Main Role: High capacity, long range mainline jetliner

Basic design: Twin engined, double aisle wide body jet. Airframe based on the A300/A340.

Photo: A Close up of the A330 wing tip or "winglet" designed to reduce wind drag. These are actually quite large in size and are upward swept only. They are "add on"s to the wingtip and can be removed whereas the Boeing 737 for instance has 'blended winglets" that sweep upwards with the floew of the wing as one long upwards extension of the wing.

Jet2 Holidays livery, now fitted with blended winglets.

 

Quite a late-build B737 'Classic', this aircraft was first flown with the Boeing temporary registration N1786B and was delivered to Virgin Express Ireland as EI-TVN in Jan-99. The lease was transferred to Virgin Express Airways in Apr-01 when it was re-registered OO-VEN. In Mar-07, Virgin Express and SN Brussels Airlines merged to form Brussels Airlines. The aircraft continued in service until it was returned to the lessor in Feb-13. It was sold to The Dart Group PLC later that month as G-GDFM, leased to Jet 2 and painted in the livery of Jet2 Holidays. It was fitted with 'blended winglets' in Jan-14 and continues in service as of Mar-16.
