Notes:
When I first opened up this image I thought that the registration "N140LL" sounded familiar... Turns out, this aircraft was recently at Delta TechOps and I had helped draft a repair that went on this plane. If you look carefully at the #1 engine pylon, you can see an area which looks lighter than the rest of the pylon. This area (the pylon "trap panel" - a composite fairing panel) had sustained heat damage and needed to be repaired. Since the tooling didn't exist for this specific part, a sheet of Titanium was cut and put in place of the composite panel pending a replacement part. Sure, it weighs 8lbs more now, but I don't think the engine exhaust will be damaging the Titanium any time soon...
