We've been celebrating Winglet Wednesday since January 2010 by posting a fun winglet photo and we want to see yours too. This one is from Marlene, who took it on the way to Palm Springs.
Thanks to Brett in Edmonton for this awesome photo, on approach to Montego Bay, Jamaica. Happy Winglet Wednesday!

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.
