‘Throw Thursday 3 28th May 2026.

Front side view of a 3 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, it's main gear about as close as you can be to a runway without actually touching it, with the nose-wheel just a bit higher up. The acres of flaps hanging from behind the wing, and the relatively shallow nose angle suggests the plane is in the process of landing. The plane is mostly white, with a brown, red, and yellow stripe coming down from the top of the forward fuselage, then along the body, covering most of the passenger cabin windows as it moves rearwards, overlaid with white "Iberia" titles on the upper forward fuselage. A stylised, red, lower-case letter "I" and yellow, uppercase letter "B" fill most of the tail above the centre-mounted engine, with a gold crown in the top part of the "I", and the black registration "EC-DEA" right at the top of the tail, repeated on the lower rear fuselage. Bright, red-tinged lights are shining in the wing root, and at the top of the nose-wheel leg. Yellowing grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass in the background leading up to a high concrete wall, with trees and buildings beyond, under hazy grey sky. — EC-DEA, Douglas DC-10-30, Iberia, touching down on Runway 28 Left at London Heathrow, some time in the 1990s.
