    Photo of the Day 5th November 2024.
Side view of a green, twin engined jet airliner with a grey belly taxiing from left to right. There is a thick white stripe running along the body, with dark green "Aer Lingus" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The green tail has a large white shamrock in the middle, a design repeated on the upturned wingtips. Strong sunlight coming from the left of the frame casts long shadows under the plane. A pair of large grey hangars are on either side of the frame in the background, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from, right to left. The plane has a dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the tail, and a silver belly. There are dark blue "Olympic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a series of linked, coloured rings on the blue tail. The top of a grey airbridge stretches across the foreground, while dark taxiways stretch off into the distance, wending their way around large islands of green grass, slowly vanishing in to haze, under hazy grey sky.

Closeup of the grey and dark blue tail of a jet airliner moving from right to left. A grey crest featuring a winged lion and a winged horse either side of a shield is in the middle of the tail, under grey letters "NWA" at the top. A large concrete apron area with a large patch of green grass in the middle dominates the background, with a pair of wide, black hangars in the distance, under grey skies.
