Oh yeah! Love the winglets on the 757. Makes a beautiful bird even better looking.

Who do you fly for? And what aircraft? :D

I love'em, they make me feel safer.

On a serious note, how effective are they at reducing the vibrations of the wing structure?... I mean photographically, so as not to get out of topic ;)

They aren't used to reduce vibration(there really isn't any to start with), but they are used to reduce induced drag in cruise to the tune of about 3-5% in fuel savings.
