Great shots- I guess the A320 family now comes with winglets as a factory option instead of just being an aftermarket add-on?

Sebastian I really hope you keep these shots coming Awesome shots and very interesting aircraft. I saw the Virgin Sharkets yesterday, anyone decides me thing the logo design looks like a mini new AA scheme tail? I would actually like to see something similar added to the winglets for the 738/767 in the new AA scheme, the grey is just to boring for my taste as is on the LH Sharklets.

Cheers

Thanks for your feedback! And of course that's a really nice Sharklet design. By the way... the first delivery of an AA A319 will be in July 2013. So let's see what will happen to their Sharklets ;)
