DLD 403: White tails, new deals, and new lines

The image shows the view from an airplane window, capturing the aircraft's wing. Below, there is an airport runway with several parked planes, some marked with "jetBlue." In the background, there is a body of water with boats and a city skyline with tall buildings. The sky is clear with a few clouds, and the sun appears to be setting or rising, casting a warm light over the scene.

DLD 402: Three planes you’ll probably never fly. Or maybe four.

The image shows the view from an airplane window. The airplane's wing is visible, extending outwards with a clear sky in the background. The sky has a gradient of colors, transitioning from light blue at the top to a soft pinkish hue near the horizon, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below the wing, there are some clouds. The window frame of the airplane is also visible, framing the view.

The image shows a view from an airplane window, capturing the wing and engine of the plane in the foreground.

The scene appears to be at an airport with multiple runways and taxiways.

Despite being one of the slowest major air shows for new order announcements in years, Farnborough 2022 offered plenty of news.
