The Planespotter's PHOTO Thread...
What would a Travel Photography forum on a site called FlyerTalk be without a thread for photography of aircraft themselves? I'll start.
PHL - 6/3/08
Happy Planespotting to all, and happy viewing.

This shot was taken early morning April 29th on UA838 NRT to SFO. It was a Continental flight going somewhere else (EWR, IAH?). They were probably two thousand feet below our altitude and likely traveling with UA838 through the night. Just after this shot we turned southeast down the California coast.

I had to edit this to make an attempt (and a bad one at that) at saying something intelligent....I thought it was one shot too.

I really enjoyed seeing this HP/US plane and its antique paint at SFO a couple weeks ago.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but Boeing 737s "always" have no winglets, or winglets that extend above the wing. Airbus A319/20/21 have "mini" winglets that extend above and below the wing.
EDIT: A picture is worth a thousand words --

I look at the winglets (when available) for Boeing 737-x vs Airbus A319/20/21.

Wingtips? My favorite is the MD-11. Taken in June 1993 at NRT. More pics during the same IAD-EWR-NRT-HKG trip in this folder: http://rkkwan.zenfolio.com/p756590430

I went to sleep hoping it was simply a mistake by the fueling truck and they had to delay to double check...
