Delta Airlines Boeing 717-200 · N982AT

About This Photo

The primary subject is a Delta Air Lines aircraft, prominently displaying the Delta logo and its trademark red, white, and blue livery. The plane is a McDonnell Douglas MD-88, which can be identified by its distinctive tail-mounted engine and narrow-body fuselage. The aircraft is oriented in a slight rightward angle on the ground, with all gear down and appears to be taxiing, as it is positioned on a paved airport taxiway. The registration number "N982AT" is visible near the rear door, alongside a small American flag decal. The nose of the aircraft is pointed towards the viewer’s right side, with cockpit windows clearly visible. In the background, there are airport ground objects including pavement lights, runway/taxiway markings, and some fencing or orange safety barriers. The setting appears to be an airport ramp or taxiway area with no visible terminals or passenger gates directly in the frame. The weather is clear with blue skies and even daylight illumination suggesting it is daytime under bright, sunny conditions. The horizon shows some indistinct structures or trees far in the background, but no notable mountains or city skyline are visible. The scene is calm with no pedestrians, vehicles, or other aircraft close by.
