The postcard shows a side view of a turboprop passenger airplane parked on an airport ramp. The aircraft is a Fokker F-27 Friendship operated by Bonanza Air Lines, with the registration number N754L painted near the tail. The fuselage is silver with “Bonanza” written near the front and “Bonanza Air Lines” along the rear. The vertical tail is painted bright red with black and white Bonanza branding. The plane has high-mounted wings with two propeller engines, one on each wing. A small red ground vehicle is positioned near the nose of the aircraft. The background is flat, open airfield terrain under a pale sky, with no terminal buildings visible.

AVENSA Boeing B-757-236 Postcard
.
#Avgeek #AviationPhotography #Boeing757 #VintageAviation #AirlineHistory #AircraftPostcard #CommercialAviation #JetAirliner #AirportApron #CivilAviation
A color photograph shows a side-on, full-length view of a narrow-body commercial jet aircraft parked on an airport apron. The aircraft is an AVENSA Boeing 757-200, identifiable by its long, slender fuselage, swept wings with underwing turbofan engines, and tall vertical tail. The airplane is oriented left to right, with the nose facing right. The fuselage is painted white with large, bold blue lettering spelling “AVENSA” across the midsection. Beneath the forward fuselage, small black lettering identifies the model as “757.” The tail fin is white and carries the AVENSA logo: a stylized blue emblem with wings and a globe motif, along with the Venezuelan flag near the top of the tail. The aircraft registration “YV-77C” is visible near the rear fuselage, just ahead of the tail. Passenger windows run in a straight line along the fuselage, and the cockpit windows are clearly visible at the nose. The main landing gear is down, with multiple wheels resting on the concrete surface, and the nose gear is aligned straight. The aircraft sits on a wide expanse of gray airport pavement marked by a yellow centerline running toward the camera in the foreground. In the background are low airport buildings, service vehicles, and ground equipment, all appearing small compared to the aircraft. Above, the sky is partly cloudy with soft blue and gray tones, suggesting daylight and fair weather. The image is factual and documentary in style, resembling an aviation postcard or promotional photograph rather than an action scene.

1980 TWA Boeing 747SP-31 Postcard

#Avgeek #TWA #Boeing747SP #JumboJet #ClassicAirliners #AviationHistory #WidebodyJet #747Sp #VintageAviation #AirlinerPhotography #HistoricLivery #CommercialAviation #AviationHeritage #Postcards #Travel
The image shows a Trans World Airlines (TWA) wide-body jet airliner, specifically a Boeing 747SP, in flight against a dark background that appears to be land or sea far below. The aircraft features TWA’s classic red-and-white livery: a white fuselage with a thick red cheatline bordered by thin stripes, the words TRANS WORLD in red block lettering on the forward fuselage, and a tall red vertical stabilizer with TWA in bold white letters. The 747SP’s shortened fuselage and distinctive single-deck hump ahead of the wing are clearly visible. All four engines are mounted beneath the wings. The registration number is visible near the tail section. The lighting suggests a daylight image with even illumination across the aircraft.

1980 Air Polynésie de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter Postcard.
.
#AirPolynesie #TwinOtter #DHCTwinOtter #PacificAviation #VintageAviation #IslandHopping #TahitiTravel #FrenchPolynesia #SouthPacificLife #AviationHistory #oldPostcards #IslandAirport #Avgeek #PolynesiaVibes #AviationPhotography
A de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter of Air Polynésie sits on a sunlit island airstrip, framed by swaying palms and turquoise lagoon waters. Its cream-colored fuselage, marked F-OCLV, features the airline’s signature red tiare flower logo on the tail. A small crowd of passengers—some in bright island clothing, others in casual travel attire—gather at the open cabin door as they board or disembark. Children wander near the aircraft while adults wait in the warm, powdery coral sand that serves as the terminal ramp. Behind the plane, a thatched-roof hut blends seamlessly with the tropical setting, embodying the charm of remote Polynesian airfields. The sky is brilliantly blue, dotted with soft white clouds, and a steep, lush island peak rises in the distance. The scene captures the relaxed rhythm of inter-island travel in the South Pacific during the golden age of Air Polynésie, when the Twin Otter was the lifeline connecting scattered atolls and volcanic islands.
