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:

Some 727s also have winglets
