Color postcard showing an Air New Zealand wide-body jet airliner parked on an airport apron at dusk. The aircraft is a three-engine jet with one engine mounted in the tail and two under the wings, painted in Air New Zealand’s white and green livery with the airline name along the fuselage and the koru symbol on the tail. A mobile stairway is positioned at the forward door while several passengers walk across the ramp toward the aircraft. Ground staff stand near the landing gear and under the fuselage. In the foreground are low fences, garden plantings, and walkway lights leading toward the aircraft viewing area. Low hills or mountains rise in the background under a purple evening sky.
Good evening from this Air New Zealand DC-10 postcard

A color photograph shows a large three-engine passenger jet aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10, taxiing on a wide airport runway or taxiway. The airplane is viewed from the left side in profile, facing to the right. Its fuselage is painted white with bold orange and yellow stripes running lengthwise along the windows. Large orange letters spelling “Sun Country” are painted on the forward half of the fuselage. The aircraft has two engines mounted under the wings and a third engine integrated into the base of the vertical tail. The tail fin is white and displays Sun Country’s stylized sun logo in orange and red. The landing gear is fully extended, with multiple wheels visible beneath the fuselage and wings as the aircraft rolls along the pavement. The runway surface in the foreground is light brown and gray, marked with faint painted lines. In the middle distance behind the aircraft, there is a flat, dry airport landscape with sparse vegetation, service roads, and low airport buildings. Another jet aircraft, painted mostly white and blue, is parked or taxiing farther back near the center of the image. In the far background, a highway overpass runs horizontally across the scene, with cars faintly visible. Beyond the airport and roadway, a wide valley stretches out, filled with scattered trees and low buildings, and backed by hazy, pale blue mountains under a clear sky. The overall lighting suggests bright daytime conditions with soft shadows beneath the aircraft.

This is a horizontally oriented vintage color postcard showing Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport at night or very early dawn. Along the bottom margin, printed in simple black lettering, is the caption: “Minneapolis – St. Paul International Airport.” The foreground is dominated by a wide expanse of airport tarmac, textured and slightly reflective, suggesting cold weather or recent moisture. The surface stretches from the bottom edge of the image toward the aircraft, creating a strong sense of depth and openness. Centered slightly left is a large Northwest Orient Airlines jet, likely from the early jet age. The airplane is parked at a gate and viewed from the side at a slight angle. Its fuselage is long and cylindrical, painted white with a bold red tail fin. Along the side of the aircraft, the words “NORTHWEST ORIENT” are clearly visible in dark lettering. The cockpit windows are visible at the front, and the engines hang beneath the wings, appearing heavy and metallic. The aircraft’s landing gear is down, firmly planted on the tarmac, giving the impression of weight and stillness. Small ground-service vehicles and equipment cluster near the plane, lit by artificial lights but without visible human figures. To the right of the airplane stands the airport terminal building, low and modern in shape, with clean horizontal lines. Large windows glow softly from within, emitting warm yellow light that contrasts with the cool tones of the sky. Several tall floodlight poles rise above the scene. Their bright white lights flare outward, creating starburst effects and illuminating the plane, terminal, and pavement below. These lights are among the brightest elements in the image. The sky fills the upper half of the postcard and transitions smoothly from golden yellow near the horizon to pale blue and then deeper blue overhead, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. This gradient adds a calm, expansive atmosphere to the scene.

A VIASA Venezuela McDonnell Douglas DC-10 rotates sharply off the runway in this dynamic postcard-style image, captured at the exact moment its nose lifts into the air. The widebody tri-jet shows off its classic proportions: a long, polished fuselage; swept wings flexing under takeoff power; and the signature center engine embedded in the vertical stabilizer. The aircraft wears VIASA’s iconic 1970s-80s livery—an orange tail with the Venezuelan flag near the top, bold VIASA titles, and a clean white-and-blue cheatline that runs the length of the fuselage, accented by “VENEZUELA” in dark letters. Heat distortion shimmers behind the engines, emphasizing the thrust of the takeoff roll. In the background, a busy airport environment—terminal buildings, service vehicles, and hangar structures—suggests a major international gateway. The overall scene conveys the power of the DC-10, the elegance of VIASA’s branding, and the energetic, global optimism of classic Venezuelan commercial aviation.
