N838AN —

Just wondering why the tips of the wings are bent upwards. What purpose does that serve?

The tips of the wings are called winglets and they usually will make the aircraft 4% more efficient with fuel burn

I love planes with winglets

winglets also adds to the stability of the aircraft in flight

This aircraft come into KRDU for American 173.

N383AN* not N838AN.

Check the reg. again Eduardo, but a beautiful shot!!

Hey Dwight I live near RDU too

Hey Dwight it's a 777 now.

FSXBoeing737Pilot, I got the 777 land and depart. Photos and video coming soon!

FAA registry shows the N number as N382AN and it was manufactured in 1993.

Nice I love the 777

Well now it's back to the 767

These are called "Winglets" which help increase range and aerodynamics and decrease fuel burn....They use those on the 757, 737 and A321 too... :D

It's a shiny mcshine!! :)

I love there old livery but the new one is cool too
