Wing tip and winglet of a KLM 737-800 plane on its way from Stavanger to Amsterdam (KL1204). View towards the east. Another KLM plane is cruising alongside. This could be the flight coming from Kristiansand or perhaps Oslo. Both planes are avoiding the congested Danish airspace on a friday afternoon by flying over the North Sea in Scottish airspace. A few minutes later the two planes crossed eachother.
United Airlines (UAL) - Boeing 757-222(WL) - N555UA (c/n 26647/442)
UPDATE (July 2022) - N555UA was delivered new to United Airlines (UAL) on April 16, 1992. In August 2009, it would be fitted with Aviation Partners Winglets. United would withdraw N555UA from service on December 1, 2013, and then send it to be stored at Phoenix Goodyear Airport (GYR / KGYR) in Arizona, on December 3, 2013. There, the aircraft would remain until February 10, 2016, when it was ferried to Blytheville Arkansas International Airport (BYH / KBYH), where it was converted to an 80-seat VIP configuration for sports and other charters prior to delivery to Juliet Romeo Aviation on June 25, 2016. Juliet Romeo Aviation re-registered the aircraft as N758SS on that date. Juliet Romeo Aviation would withdraw the aircraft from service on March 13, 2020, initially storing it at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX / KPHX), in Phoenix, Arizona, until September 21, 2020. On September 21, 2020, the aircraft was placed into storage at Pinal Airpark (MZJ / KMZJ) in Marana, Arizona.
I deliberately 'placed' the winglet at the bottom of the picture, because I wanted the blueness to be the main part of this photo.

Today's Winglet Wednesday photo over Cancun is dedicated to those who were affected by the explosion at Grand Riviera Princess resort last weekend. Our thoughts are with you.
Figured this would be interesting to look as if kinda I was aboard an aircraft w/ a blended winglet. The entire Museum of Flight set might be good to look at.

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.
