This Thomas Cook/Condor 767 is the only one I have ever seen with winglets. Dave in the tower got some photos of this bird on a previous occasion but it still looks a bit odd to me. Anyway, here she is on the roll on 26L at CYVR.

FL340 Brisbane to Melbourne ... everything just hums along high above a layer of thin clouds below us.
Winglet of Thai Airways B744 while cruising over the South China Sea at sunset. Clear sky up above, but still some rain cloud was visible down below on our way to Hong Kong. This was TG606 originated in Suvarnabhumi Bangkok.
This is the second time I've seen this guy in Yellowknife, this time enroute from Shanghai to Montreal.

Purple winglet of Thai Airways A333 registered as HS-TEP being touched by very late afternoon sun. We were on our way to Hanoi, Vietnam, and this shot was taken approx. 1 hour after our departure from Bangkok.
Sure makes for a great shape looking up from the outside. You might enjoy the whole Blended Winglet set of 8 pics.

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.
while taxiing to the gate we passed this delta airbus on a parallel taxiway. at a quick glance the winglet from our B737 creates the illusion that it could be the tail of the delta airbus. madness!

Cruising over Russia at FL350+, just south of Moscow, and down below the wing appeared to be thin cloud covering the soil of Russia. As seen from the winglet with the logo, this was Thai Airways B747-400 operated as TG961 from Stockholm to Bangkok. Dusk was going to come very soon. We was going to land in Bangkok shortly after the first light of the next day appeared.
