Sunwing Boeing 737-800 C-FTJH basks in the evening Dublin sunshine, about to operate to the sunnier climes of Ibiza, those lucky people. C-FTJH recently transferred over from Canada to Ireland for the summer 2014 season, working various flights out of Ireland to " hotspots " around Europe. Unknown to those lucky travellers, they will have reduced their carbon footprints on those sandy beaches in Ibiza even further, as this aircraft is fitted with the latest split Scimitar winglets, turning both the traditional upwards & now downwards as well.
One of the coolest looking fuel saving technologies to come out of aviation research and development are these Spiroid Winglets™. They were first flown on the Gulfstream II in 1993. Over the course of the next several years they were further developed & refined, and these updated versions were flown on a Falcon 50 in 2010 resulting in a drag reduction of nearly 11%. I have a set on my Mazda3 and am proud to say my drag reduction is through the roof!

US Airways - Boeing 757-23N(WL) - N205UW (c/n 30887/946)
This aircraft was delivered brand-new to American Trans Air (ATA Airlines) in November 2000 as N528AT. It would next go on to fly with Air Horizons as F-GRNJ in June 2005, before being purchased by US Airways in February 2006 and registered as N644UW. I would then be re-registered as N205UW in October 2006.
UPDATE (June 2022) - N205UW would enter service with American Airlines (AA) on December 9, 2013, after its merger with US Airways. It would continue passenger service until March 26, 2020, when it was withdrawn from service and placed into storage at at Roswell Industrial Air Center (ROW / KROW), in Roswell, New Mexico. The aircraft was then acquired by AerSale Inc. on January 11, 2021. N205UW would depart Roswell on May 5, 2022, and be flown to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU / ZUUU), in Chengdu, People's Republic of China, for conversion into a 757-200 Precision Conversions Freighter (757-200(PCF)), to be performed by Air China Technics.

This aircraft was involved in a runway over-run incident during a snow storm at Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport in Febuary, 2007. It was widely assumed that the aircraft would be written-off and was beyond repair. After replacing the engines and the entire fuselage forward of the wings the aircraft took to the skies again in November of 2007. She is affectionately referred to as "Frankenplane" by the Cleveland area aviation photographers (opshots.net).
A photo of the incident can be found here and photos of the restoration process can be found here.
I have seen this aircraft up-close since the repairs and can report that other than a small line visible around the fuselage (where the sections were joined together) - you can't tell the difference. If you didn't know what you were looking for, you'd never even notice.
