intense picture - glad to see these being installed.

Me and another FT'er had a debate a few years ago. I swore at the time that DAL had 738s with winglets. Well, I'm happy to say I was right albeit a few years late. Have you see the new DAL 787?

What's World Airlines doing parking their bird in the DL hanger???

Those tool boxes at the bottom left of that foto bring back sweet memories of my late father's 32 year run at the TOC in ATL. He had a few like that actually that he rolled from Dept 285 to wherever they needed him to be. Man I loved going to visit him as a kid to see what engines he as working on. I used to ask him every day when he got home what he worked on that day. I think worked on the same engine most of the time but he would play to my curiosity and report something different every day. I loved the way those guys in the TOC would ride bikes from one end of that hanger to the other since it was faster than walking. I loved the smell of the place, the "family" attitude they all shared, and on and on and on.

Getting misty in here! I gotta go...

I see them in the Delta hanger all the time in ATL. I assumed Delta provides the maintenance on their aircraft.

The TOC is still awesome from what I hear.

Why would they paint "Flying Colors" on the winglets? Why not just repait the whole bird at once? I guess it may just be one blue with a reflection, but either way I'm confused.

nice, too bad it isn't painted yet

Some folks on A.net are saying the plane will be headed to the paint shop this week, so it'll be in the new livery when it comes back out on the line.

The World MD-11s are ex-Delta birds. Some still have (or had, back in 2005) the Delta interiors compete with BE seats up front.

My guess is like yours, Delta Tech Ops provides maintenance for them.

Yeah, That was former ex-DL was leave from entire fleet years ago. It was stopped flying on MD11 because DL has gotten into trouble the financial. I assumed if DL will get repainted the new livery.

Sorry to disappoint but this bird won't be painted in the new livery...at least not during this trip to the TOC.

Holy WOW. When they said winglets were being installed, I thought they meant those tiny ones on newer 737s. NOW I get why they increase efficiency so much.

Saw another all white 738 with winglets in the Paint shop this morning on take off, was ready for the blue coat it. that's pretty quick turn around.

I was wondering, does anyone know how many of the 737-800s currently feature winglets and AVOD?

I have been keeping track of the domestic 767-300s with the new IFE, and there are currently five of them that have it (ships 121, 125, 131, 133, and 139). I haven't kept track of the 737-800s.

Also, for those interested, almost all of the international 767-300ERs now have AVOD in BusinessElite. There are only like nine aircraft left to retrofit, most of which are ex-Gulf Air birds.

Thanks for the numbers on the 763s. Hopefully more will be converted soon. I take the LAX-ATL flight about once a week. I have always avoided the 763 and tried to get the 764. Does any have any 763 with AVOD pictures in First?

I don't think there are any pics on the web of the F cabin, however, there are a few pics out there of the economy cabin. F shouldn't be very different from the 737-800s and ex-Song 757s. I assume the PTVs are on the seat backs, not in the armrests like in BusinessElite or the domestic 767-400 F cabin. I don't think there are footrests.

Here are a few photos of the economy cabin:
