Close-up of the rear fuselage and tail if a jet airliner facing to the left. The plane has a mostly white body, with a dark blue belly and a yellow pinstripe. The plane's tail is the same dark blue, with a yellow, twisted double ribbon, and white "IcelandAir" text at the bottom. Under the plane's tail, green grass in the background leads up to a boxy, green metal structure in the distance, with a pair of grey hangars beyond. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Bonus Photo of the Day 16th September 2025.

Side view of a long, thin, and extremely pointy, 4 engined jet airliner on display outside a museum, facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the body, and a thick blue stripe bordered by thin blue stripes on the tail. There are small, black "Concorde" titles between the cockpit windows and the forward cabin door. The engines are mounted in pairs in square boxes under the wings. A set of tall, white, mobile air stairs is next to the forward door on the other side. A small family group in vividly coloured jackets and trousers is wandering around by the nose-wheel leg. A series of joined, white hangars with blue doors stretch across the background, with blue sky filling the rest of the frame.
