The first AAL 763 with winglets (actually the only one in the world!) arriving Chicago O'Hare on 3/17/09, about one week after entering revenue service. I think the winglets make the 767 look even better...
Our 2nd annual Calgary TAC team photo competition wrapped up today and we will be featuring some of the best photos (including the winners) for Winglet Wednesday in the coming weeks. Here's an entry from Michael showing "the wave", which is a common sight if you depart from any of our 71 airports. Do you like it?
They just recently added these to the winglets. I've always thought that putting them on the inside was a bit dumb. Everyone on the inside of the plane has already visited the website to buy tickets. Why not put them on the outside? Advertising.

Winglets on a -500 are just cool looking! Too bad we don't see these hardly at all here in Nashville.

Tara from our Victoria Airport team took this awesome pic while she was departing from YYJ airport. We know that it's a great photo, but we don't know the name of the island. Does anyone know?
I determined the winglets on each side of the saucer shuttle bay doors were offline, they should lap over the edge of the strongback part and into the secondary hull. They were too wide too and needed to be more tapered so I carved, filed, and sanded the cured Apoxy Sculpt then added some more AVES, pulling and blending with fingers and sculpting tools to form an unbroken curve around the spinal plate atop the secondary hull.

Bei Winglets handelt es sich um die nach oben abgewinkelten Enden der Flugzeugtragflächen. Sie verbessern die Aerodynamik, indem sie den sogenannten induzierten Luftwiderstand verringern.
SpiceJet are one of the new low-fares airlines in India. They were good, on the whole - apart from not displaying the correct hand baggage restrictions at the check-in desk so we didn't know we couldn't carry liquids in hand luggage until we got to security. [IMG_0950]

They use the winglet 767s mostly for the Asia and South Pacific runs.
Got a shot of this same one before it had winglets in San Diego 2 years ago: www.flickr.com/photos/tnano/2314394137/
I used a film camera to capture this winglet at FL350+ while cruising somewhere over the Pacific, International Airspace. I don't remember the exact date when I did, probably some time around 2000-2001, which was the period of time that I flew very often on Bangkok- Los Angeles route via Taipei . However, one thing that I remember for sure is that this is the winglet of EVA Air B747-400 wearing the old color livery enroute Los Angeles-Taipei. Nice color of the sky as seen though a window of Economy Deluxe Class cabin.
Fog in SFO had the plane circling for quite a while. We ran low on fuel, loaded up in SJC and landed in SFO. Funny, just as we reached altitude, the captain called for flight attendants to prepare for landing. Shortest flight I've ever been on.
When all was said and done, we were in the terminal 2 hours later than our scheduled arrival time.
Best viewed original. I did make a copy of this photo that has a special trick as well.
Also a great Winglet Wednesday pic, eh?
The Alaska Airmen's Trade Show is an annual event held the first weekend of May at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. It's a pretty cool event - a lot of static displays and cool things for sale for a state that relies heavily on aviation. We lucked out and had a very nice day for it. These photos are from the show held in May 2010.
