I believe the winglet mod kit and installation is about $2,000,000. About 3-5% initial fuel savings at same crusie speed as non-wingleted aircraft.

Not sure how I missed the photo before. Glad to see you posted it. I’m a pretty big fan of Allegiant, they have a great (simple yet pleasing) livery and they are keeping old good ol’ MD twin-jets in the air. Now, I wonder if they will sell die-cast 757 models on those flights? I sure hope so.

My former landlord is a Delta 757/767 pilot. He said that the winglet upgrade to 757′s is only about $5000 per winglet and, whereas aircraft get less miles per gallon as they age, winglets actually make the MPG increase with age! Pretty cool but remember this is coming from a pilot. The UPS Airbus 310′s that frequent Charlotte have been upgraded with the traditional airbus dove-tail winglets probably for this same reason.
