If you love vintage airplane design, this hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro will get your engine revved up.

Not my shot (wish it was tho) of an Aeronca Chief poking along at 77 mph over a cloud deck, into a gorgeous sunset.

The panel is so great...almost a work of art. And those yokes...or are they called "steering wheels?" Retro design FTW!

Side view of a red, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right.
The plane has white wings and a white belly, with the registration "G-BPRA" on the rear fuselage, also in white.
A yellow and brown biplane can be seen in the background on the right, with large green hangars further back.
Grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on grass facing to the right. The plane has a blue cheatline running along the fuselage, with black "Royal Air Force Air Support Command" on the forward fuselage, and larger "Enceladus" titles under the cockpit. Pretty much the whole fuselage seems to be covered in all sorts of dirt and grime. Grey sky fills most of the rest of the frame.

Side view of a yellow, high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right.
The plane has a red lower rear fuselage, overlaid with the registration "G-BTGM" in black.
In the background, a large green hangar stretches across most of the frame from the left, under grey skies.

N60LJ, LearJet 60, on static display at Farnborough Air Show, 25th June 1994.

The different styles of winglets used on RyanAir’s Boeing 737-8AS’s are shown to good effect – on the right, the inner, white face of the standard winglet contrasts with the newer “Scimitar” winglet of later models, with both up- and down-turned lobes.

Side view of a sleek, white, twin engined bizjet parked facing to the right. The plane has a grey belly, and thin blue stripes running along the body. A couple of people are visible sitting in the planes cockpit, looking as if they are talking to each other. Bright sunlight coming from low on the right of the frame is casting long shadows to the left. In the background, blue sky gives way to thick, grey clouds.

Closeup of the up-turned wingtips of 2 planes parked next to each other. The one on the right is the white inner face of a winglet, with blue "RyanAir" titles, which sits almost vertically on the end of the wing, while the one on the left is in 2 parts, a blue upper part with yellow "RyanAir" titles, and a yellow lower part, both parts canted out slightly. Grey concrete apron fills the space between and behind them.

Aeronca 7AC Champion This colourful example of the Aeronca breed is seen here at Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport, Maine, USA. The 7AC was produced postwar, from 1945 to 1948, for a total of 7,200 examples. This light aircraft is a true classic. #aircraft #Aeronca #7AC #Champion #Sanford #SanfordSeacoastRegionalAirport #Maine #USA #lightaircraft #avgeek #aviationgeek #aviationlover #airport #KSFM

Write-upfrom 2011 on the Aeronca 100, a plane that was in our garage for all of my childhood. It was my dad’s dream to restore the plan, but a lack of money precluded any chance of that. Great that it could finally be restored to flying condition
