    Photo of the Day 3rd November 2024.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with the undercarriage lowered, and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane has black "jersey European" titles on the lower fuselage, and a black, yellow, orange, and red triangle on the forward fuselage just aft of the cockpit, and on the tail. Cloudy skies with patches of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white helicopter parked on grass facing to the right. There are red and orange stripes around the nose, and around the rear fuselage, along the tail boom, and up into the tail. IN the background, grass leads up to a brown hangar in the distance, with several helicopters, a fuel tanker, and several vans and cars parked in front, with trees and a tall white building with "SNECMA" titles on the top floor beyond that, under a grey sky.

    On This Day 3rd November 1994.

Side view of a white, 4 jet engined cargo plane moving from right to left on a black runway with the thrust reversers deployed from the rear of the engines and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed. There are a pair of black stripes running along the body, red "Air India Cargo" titles on the upper fuselage, and a two-tone letter "S" outlined in black on the tail. The roof of a grey building fills the foreground, while a tall concrete wall stretches across the background, with trees vanishing in to mist beyond that. The tail of a grey and blue jet airliner is peeking in to view on the left of the frame. Grey skies fill the rest of the image.
