The landing and navigation lights are pretty crisp. I like the grain/pixel texture- its like mosaic tiles.

This was among the earliest of a series of advanced designs by Dick Rutan; among the Vari-eze aircraft, this is the first, built in 1975. His company would gain additional fame for the Voyager and Spaceship One. This remarkable aircraft is known not only for its canard design, but also for its pioneering use of the Whitcomb winglet.

Being it's Winglet Wednesday (26 April 2017), here's a black & white photo of my takeoff in 2016-02-18 Alaska Airlines Flight 423 (AS423) flight. Awesome flight with album up at flic.kr/s/aHskPpU6gw .

A short rest for the ramp workers while they were waiting for more luggage and cargo to arrive to be loaded on this Boeing 767.
This July day was a hot one in the city so to find shadow was important.

Wingtip devices, sometimes called Winglets, are intended to improve the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft.
There are several types of wingtip devices, and although they function in different manners, the intended effect is always to reduce the aircraft's drag by partial recovery of the tip vortex energy. Wingtip devices can also improve aircraft handling characteristics and enhance safety for following aircraft. Such devices increase the effective aspect ratio of a wing without materially increasing the wingspan. An extension of span would lower lift-induced drag, but would increase parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength and weight of the wing. At some point, there is no net benefit from further increased span. There may also be operational considerations that limit the allowable wingspan (e.g., available width at airport gates).
Large winglets such as those seen on the Boeing 737 (as seen here) are blended winglets which are most useful during short-distance flights, where increased climb performance offsets increased drag.
