On This Day 4th February 2016.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner slowing down as it moves from left to right along a wet, black runway. Spray is being kicked up by the wheels and the exhaust from the engines. The plane has black "Delta" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the registration "N711ZX" on the upper rear fuselage, next to an American flag. The engine pods slung under the wings have the rear section pushed back, allowing the thrust reversers to push air forwards to slow the plane down. There is a bright light mounted on the nose wheel, pointing forwards. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame in the foreground, with more grass on the other side of the runway, leading up to trees in the distance. In the far distance, rolling hills give way to stormy grey clouds.

Tails Tuesday 4th February 2025.

The tails of four white jet airliner with blue tails lined up facing to the right at a slightly misty airport, the 2nd in line parked further to the left. The planes all have dark blue tails, with yellow circles containing a blue stylised flying bird in the middle. They all also have blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage. There is a white fuel tanker parked between the first 2 planes. Green grass in the distance fills the top of the frame, leading up to trees on the horizon, under grey skies.

Close up of the white rear fuselage and tail of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the right with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. The tail has a two-tone blue running from the lower front edge to the top rear, getting wider as it goes. A similar stripe runs along the engine pods, with a white section in the middle with a winged logo with "Air Provence" title above it. The registration "F-GCVM" is on the upper rear fuselage, just aft of the engines, in blue. A wide building in shades of brown stretches across the background, with trees and low buildings in the distance.
