    Feb Week 2 spotting SFB, MCO pix

    A few shots from last week while shooting SFB/MCO. I finally finished getting the regulars for SFB. They don't come in daily and at the same time everyday into SFB so it takes time to get them.
    The Globespan and Mytravel are SFB
    The Sunwing and NWA (Winglets) are MCO

    No way, N538US got winglets???? Awesome! I shot her a few times last year without winglets.

    What is a 752 with winglets doing in MCO anyway? They should be running the international 752 flights or the west coast flights... But cool catch!

    You know what would be cool? 767-200/300's with winglets.

    the 767 has the raked wingtips, so is it possible for them to be used on them? I thought i've read that its not worth putting them on because the wings on them are efficient enough

    For me I DO NOT like winglets. To me they make planes look toyish and like space ships. Like the toys Ihad when I was kid.

    Oh, I think in most cases winglets make the planes look a lot better!

    I especially like the winglets on NW 752's, they make them look very cool!

    Cool shots. Did you guys notice that the top part of the NW 757 tail has slightly different color compare to the rest of the tail? Was it a bad paint job or something else?

    I agree, they make the plane look better. Sleeker or something.

    Look at a hawk when in flight, their wing tips curve up at the end, thats where they got the winglet idea.
