The weather was far from ideal for planespotting, but it's not like one sees a Boeing 727 everyday in 2006. I never spent the time to find out what this 727 is about... a special charter or is it a converted freighter?
I believe this is C-FLHR.
The wording on the vertical wing actually reads 'Leaving on a Jet Plane" in some weird font. Perhaps Flair still thinks that it's the early 1960s and flying on a jet is a new experience! Well actually come think about it, "Leaving on a 727" would be something that many younger people have never tried before!

This new Boeing Next-Generation 737 will soon be delivered to an airline that wears its heart on its winglet. Can you guess who it is?

A 5x zoom shot groups a series of winglets and tails on United Airlines jets, plus an ANA-operated Boeing 777-300ER.
These are the winglets of our new Duo Discus. They are just gorgeous aren't they?
Available at 500px, number 89152569!
So here's that same photo cropped again, still to 3:2 aspect ratio, but 2/3 the linear dimensions. So 1K X 667 pixels..1/20th the size of the original photo....
Still not bad looking.
Maybe this EP-2 business will pay off... This picture is either the 85mm (170 eq) or the 180mm (360 eq). I'm guessing the later. Key facts are bright sun, 1/800 second exposure and 640 ISO. Probably was't wide open- F4? 5.6? 8? I'll have to do a study... I've made less attractive photos using film in the OM-1.
OLYMPUS EP-2.

Now, I've got a Joint Base Lewis-McChord Airshow & Warrior Expo (JBLMAWE) album for you to see my other photos as I have time to develop: flic.kr/s/aHskFP6ZUh . Please check out the album for more event photos as I develop through the 2016-2017 winter!

A great display of Northern Lights over Northern Saskatchewan on the way to Halifax CYHZ from Edmonton CYEG.
Sometimes pulling these all nighters have their advantages.
I thought the winglet added a different dimension.

A blended winglet on a Southwest Boeing 737-700 series adds a little color to an otherwise gloomy day.
The concept and testing of these large wingtip extensions had been around since the mid-1980's but since their certification on the 737 Next Generation platform in 2001, they have become widespread in their use with rising fuel costs. Their purpose is to reduce the amount of induced drag, i.e., the type of drag caused by the lift of the wing itself. Airlines typically save about 3 percent in fuel with these which quickly adds up in a large fleet.
Hey, some things just deserve to be explored as art, eh? Certainly when these blended winglets are so artistic!
Make sure to check out the set!

From the plaque below the blended winglet exhibit:
The Future Is On The Wing
This Blended Winglet was test flown on a Boeing 747-200 in 2000 to prove the viability of Blended Winglets for big transport aircraft.
Blended Winglets are gracefully curved wingtip extensions that measurably enhances the aerodynamic efficiencies, flight characteristics and environmental benefits of corporate and commercial aircraft.
Aviation Partners of Seattle introduced the patented Blended Winglets in 1991. They are now flying on airliners and corporate jets worldwide saving fuel and protecting the environment.
The Museum of Flight is grateful to Aviation Partners, Inc. and Aviation Partners Boeing for their enormous contribution to the world of flight and aerospace.
