Avianca Airbus A320 · N742AV

About This Photo

The primary subject of the image is an Avianca commercial aircraft, an Airbus A321, in the final stages of landing with its gear deployed. The aircraft has a predominantly white fuselage with a red tail, red engine cowlings, and the Avianca logo in large red letters along the side. The registration N742AV is visible near the tail section along with the Colombian flag. The airplane is oriented left to right at a low altitude, just above buildings and trees in an urban airport environment. In the background, there are several mid-rise commercial buildings including one with the name "Northrop Grumman" visible. The scene features a cluster of green trees beneath the flight path. The sky is clear and blue, indicating calm weather and good visibility. The lighting suggests mid to late afternoon with a soft light casting faint shadows on the buildings. The photo appears to be taken at an airport near or within a city given the proximity of urban structures to the approach corridor. There are no visible ground vehicles or personnel in the frame.
