Photo of the Day 1st November 2024.

Side view of a blue, twin engined jet airliner with a white belly and tail, facing to the right but being pushed backwards to the left by an off-screen truck attached to the nosewheel by a long, thin blue pole. There are white "KLM" titles under a white crown on the upper forward fuselage, a design replicated in blue in a larger form on the white tail. A black chain-link fence stretches across the foreground, while a black and sandy brown terminal building fills the background, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner being towed from left to right by a nearly out-of-frame blue tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long orange pole. The plane has a blue rear fuselage and tail, with a red triangle at the top of the tail, and blue and red "Air Inter" on the upper forward fuselage. The background has tall lighting towers scattered around the concrete apron, slowly vanishing into mist in the distance.

On This Day 1st November 1994.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a yellow stripe outlined in black running along the body, large black "VLM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the black registration "OO-VLN" on the upper rear fuselage, and a black lion standing on it's rear legs on the tail. The airfield is elevated several feet over a body of water, seen here at the bottom of the frame. Trees and buildings are visible in the background under hazy blue skies with lumps of fluffy cloud.
