Side view of a bright red, 2 seat autogyro, parked facing to the left. The aircraft has a sleek red body, with large, fully glazed doors under a large white rotor, with a smaller white pusher propellor at the top of the rear fuselage. A low, thin red tail boom carries the red tail, a large central fin with smaller end-plates on the horizontal stabiliser. The first couple of letters of the registration is visible on the central fin in grey. There are small, grey and black "M24 Orion" titles on the top of the fuselage, just ahead of the pusher prop. Green grass fills the foreground, with several grey cars lined-up side-by-side behind a grey metal fence in the background, with trees in the distance under hazy grey skies.

Winglet Wednesday 14th January 2026.

Closeup of the white, upturned wingtip of a jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The wingtip has a thick white stripe running along it's length, with a white cross in the middle. Extended flaps under the wing suggests that the plane is about to take off. The planes body in the background is all white, with the registration "HB-JBE" on the lower rear fuselage in black. Above the body, grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner being towed from right to left by a low-slung white tig attached to the nose-wheel by a long pole. The plane is light blue on top and a pale grey on the bottom, with a thick dark blue stripe running along the body, covering the main deck cabin windows, and a thinner white stripe below that. There are large, white, "KLM Asia" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller, gold text "Boeing 747-400" on the dark blue stripe under the cockpit. The white registration "PH_BFD" is on the upper rear fuselage, under the white tail, which has large, light blue "KLM" titles above smaller "Asia" titles. A black taxiway fills the foreground, with more taxiways and grass in the background leading up to a large ground-level car park filled with cars and scattered trees, with high-rise buildings in the distance being swallowed up in grey mist.

Front-side view of a 3-engined jet airliner being towed from left to right by a low-slung white tug whose rear body is wrapped around the plane's nose-wheels. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a brown and black stripe running along the body, just below the passenger cabin windows. There are red "SwissAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a small, white, letter "C" on the black stripe on the nose-cone. The white registration "HB-IWC" is on the black stripe on the rear fuselage, under the tail. The centre engine runs through the bottom of the red tail, above the upper rear fuselage, which has a large white cross in the middle, resembling the Swiss flag. The tails of a couple of smaller planes in a similar livery can be seen in the background on the right, with a couple more of different types can be seen on the left, with some other jet airliners beyond them. In the middle of the frame, a grey concrete building has a sign on the top - a red section on the left containing a white cross between a pair of white arrow-heads pointing outwards to either side, and a larger blue section with the white word "FlugHafenBahn" (Airport Train Station). Grey buildings in a very industrial landscape in the distance vanish into hazy grey sky.
