This one is from last month; various distractions and obligations have kept me from having the opportunity to finish what I started here. There are a number of little oddities about this photo; I noticed one that was the impetus for the original post, but then you guys pointed out several more. Among them: The U.S. aircraft registrations, the web addresses are different, and there are different types of tugs. There was some discussion in the comments about winglets; here's the same shot, considerably brightened, in which it can be seen that both of these A320s do, in fact, have winglets:
Another oddity that nobody commented on was the fact that both of these are A320s; most of Volaris' flights into LAX are in A319s like this one:
And now for the teaser part: Given the A319 photo, what's wrong with the A320s in the original shot? I promise it won't be another month for the answer; it's already written and scheduled to post 72 hours after this goes up, so think fast!
The A319 typically has only one window exit. Airbus does make a 2 window exit model, for higher capacity seating. I had thought about this being the reason of your post and I had checked the registration on both aircraft and they both are indeed listed as A320's not A319's. Maybe there actually nothing wrong with the picture.
ReplyDeleteI notice that the A319 has the man's name "Javier" on the fuselage, while the A320's don't seem to have a person's name on the fuselage.
ReplyDeleteNo name?
ReplyDeleteIn general, the 319's have names, however, there have been 320's that have names, -VOU = Juan, -VON = Alan, N507VL = Daniel.
ReplyDeleteAh, no plane names?
ReplyDeleteYour not referring to the overwing exits are you? 1 for A318/9 and 2 for the A320?
