Quite common on delivery, KLM, Alaska and Korean all ran them without but they fitted them later. Korean never bothered haha.
As of the writing of this article last year, there were around 80 NGs without them left in service. I remember flying one of Alaska’s wingletless 900ERs a few years back. It was from the very early production run of the 900er if I recall correctly, and originally served as a Boeing test airframe before delivery to Alaska. For whatever reason, the wings were not strong enough on that airframe to support winglets.
BABYBUS!!! CDG is a fabulous airport to do transfers at. Pity I couldn’t have been doing transfers 25 years back when it was all just 747s, A340s and DC10s. What camera do you use for your photos?
Yeah, CDG really offers a ton of variety when it comes to airlines, aircraft types, and destinations! You can discover so many hidden gems there. I am using the iPhone 17 Pro.
Not sure if this is the right space for this or if it should go in GRU conversation, but man the terminal 3 pier b progress is going steadily! We might need a remodel soon haha:
Unfortunately no pictures to show due to its angle of flight and out of my area but as of now there’s a AN 124 Ruslan currently flying north west Of Manchester UK 34,000 feet

Aero K (A320-200)
This is the first time I have flown on an aircraft with a special livery.
+Try reading airline name backwards
Arriving at Narita two days ago, I also took this picture of a few airlines of Korea + Cebu Pacific:
And a couple of high-flying planes photos I took walking around Ōsaka yesterday:
SAS 80 Year Anniversary Livery Makeing a NonStop flight from Stockholm To New York.
Obviously no real image due to its location.
Trip to Iceland or connecting somewhere? Flight on a 767! Lucky duck lol
I think I can recognise that little area, it should be that circular boarding area by 18/36L.
I was on an A339 in Barbados waiting to take off, but had to wait for an AN124 to land, surreal to see one ‘live’.
Trip to Iceland. And return on Saturday afternoon on, fingers crossed, a 757 ![]()
