Shot of the day quiz

I'm starting off the month of June with a bit of a puzzler. There's nothing wrong with this picture, but there is something noteworthy about it. What's special about this picture?

Shot of the day: How 'bout them Sox?

I've only seen this airplane once, and it was at night. But one of my cohorts caught it here in broad daylight for you. This particular aircraft used to be named "Blue Yorker" * but now, where the name once was, there's a ribbon commemorating the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park. For those of you who visit from outside the states, the Boston Red Sox is a major league baseball team; JetBlue recently bought the naming rights for their spring training facility in Fort Meyers, Florida.

* It's slightly ironic that the plane wearing the Sox livery used to be named "Blue Yorker". The Sox and the New York Yankees have been American League rivals for decades, dating back to when Boston sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1919. I have a family legend that touches on this: My mother, who grew up in Boston, has told the tale of her parents betting on the outcome of the Yankees - Red Sox pennant series. The loser had to paint their bedroom. I don't remember now who was betting on Boston, but the story goes that from then on their bedroom had "Damn Yankees" on the ceiling.

Dreamliners are back!

Yesterday, I saw my first Boeing B787 Dreamliner revenue flight at LAX since the grounding order was lifted a couple of weeks ago. Somebody told me that they saw it arrive the night before, so this probably wasn't the very first revenue flight at LAX since the B787s were allowed to return to service - but it was the first one I've seen. For the duration of the grounding, United had a Dreamliner on the ground at LAX; it was ferried out shortly after the announcement that aircraft could be returned to service once they've been modified. No word yet on when LAN, the only other carrier to bring Dreamliners into LAX so far, will be back with theirs. 

No teaser: What's wrong with this picture, revealed

So finally, over a month after the original post, I'll wrap this one up. A couple of you guys got it after the hint in the teaser post; nice job! Above is the comparison shot I gave you; and here is the original W3TP shot:

The thing I noticed, beyond it being a relatively-rare pair of Volaris A320s, was that neither of the aircraft has a name on the nose. Most of the Volaris Airbuses that we see at LAX are festooned with a person's name on the forward fuselage. Each of these people is a winner in Volaris' "Place your name on an airplane" contest, which has been run for several years now. Here are some more examples; if you look closely, you'll see a couple with names that have changed:
