I've had a change of mind following my trip to Italy, here's a photo of the (currently) only Curti Aerospace Zefhir I-X048 (cn.001) at Ozzano near Bologna on 25th March, something a bit different and unique!

Not much to choose from for me, but thought I'd enter this Eurowings / Sun Express A330 D-AXGF with 'Las Vegas' titles taking off from Dusseldorf Airport on the 4th March on a flight to Bridgetown.
