A320 series winglets?

CR2 · 17th July 2008, 17:01

I noticed what "appears" to be a 319 (US Airways) with winglets (not the standard Airbus fences) flying into LGA yesterday. Is there such a thing or did I get the a/c type wrong?

And another observation now that I think of it; AA 767 with winglets?

Thanks folks.

Was it this? I have seen AA 757s with winglets at ORD. They add a nice touch to a beautiful airplane. They are putting them on all their remaining 76/75 fleet.
As for the Airbus - the US Airways A330s have a standard winglet - perhaps that is what you saw...??

330 would not have been in LGA. My guess is, you saw a 190 and mistaked it for a 320. At first glance, it looks like a Baby Bus with winglets vs. the fence.The 757's with the winglets do make the airplane look even better. Not sure if any have been installed on the 76's yet.

Definately not a 330. I tend more towards the suggestion of the Embraer. Thanks folks.

These winglets?

They were trialled by Jetblue Airways over the last couple of years.

Good point, but I'm 99% sure USAirways does not have any little busses with those type of winglets. I've also seen 320 family aircraft with dual trucks or 4 tires on each main in the Far East. Anything is possible.

Yup, Compressor Stall, that's them winglets that I saw. It definately was US Airways too. Thanks.

Maybe this is what you saw.

Now that I've confused myself completely....

Yeah weasil, was probably that....

Thanks all.

RWEDAREYET · 23rd July 2008, 18:55

So you saw a 190???

CR2 · 24th July 2008, 16:37

The truth is I'm no longer sure what I saw

Perhaps I'll see another one

It appears that Airbus will start offering those winglets next year.
