DLD 311: Farewell to the 580s

A twin-engine propeller airplane from Air Chathams is flying over a coastal landscape. The aircraft is white with green accents and has the airline's logo on the tail. Below, there is a view of the coastline with sandy beaches, green fields, and a body of water. The sky is partly cloudy.

DLD 297: Pantsless Professionals

A small boat with several people on board is floating on calm water during sunset or sunrise. The water reflects the warm colors of the sky, creating a serene and picturesque scene.

The image shows a close-up view of a bird's nest containing several newly hatched baby birds. The nest is made of dried grass and twigs, and the baby birds are small, pink, and covered with sparse downy feathers. Their eyes are closed, and they appear to be huddled closely together.

An airport closes, possibly forever. Another was already closed when the plane showed up. And airlines are still planning their financial turnarounds as demand starts to creep higher.
