Description
It can be a delight to see what a creative airline can do with those vertically-oriented things affixed to the wingtips of airplanes (prior to this year, I called them all Winglets, but in light of the ongoing installation of the newly-released Sharklets, well... but I digress). Most of the time, they're color-matched to the carrier's colors, but once in a while, we get surprised.
Such was the case here, where a single carrier had two Buses parked side by side, one with Winglets as originally designed for the A320-family of jetliners, and the other with the efficiency-minded Sharklets retrofit. Given recent events, it really gave me a moment of pause looking at what they had done with those surfaces, and I had to capture it.
