    Plane Identification Question

    Hello Anyone - I have a question:

    Do any Boeing airplanes - aside from a 747 - have winglets?

    Yes. The 737NGs are being produced with winglets, most 757s are being retrofitted with winglets as well as the 767.

    Hi Richard -

    Thanks for your response. So when a plane flies overhead and I see it has winglets, I can't assume it's an Airbus then?

    For the most part. Here's a typical Boeing winglet:

    And Airbus:

    Oh, and my name is James. Richard Bach is a pilot/author.
