    Photo of the Day 22nd November 2024.
Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. There are purple "Excalibur" titles on the upper forward fuselage, arranged to resemble a large sword, while the tail is purple with the hilt of a white sword across the middle. A white and grey fuel truck is parked under the right wing. Grey-brown apron fills the foreground, with trees and bushes lining the airfield perimeter in the background, under grey skies.

Side view of a white, 4 engined, very large jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a grey belly, large blue "Condor" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a yellow tail containing the blue outline of as circle, itself with a stylised blue flying bird in the middle, a logo repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit windows. Low brown buildings are immediately behind this behemoth, with rows of trees vanishing into mist in the far distance, under grey skies.

Close-up of the nose and forward fuselage of a light blue, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a white belly, with a dark blue stripe swooping along the body, separating the white from the pale blue. There are white "KLM CityHopper" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with additional white "100" stickers just aft. There are white letters "ZI" just above the centre of the cockpit windows, repeated in blue on the nose landing gear doors, with additional numbers "-322" at that location. A large, dark grey hangar can be seen behind the nose on the left, with a sliver of grey sky sneaking through overhead.
