COMMERCIAL AVIATION Editor’s Picks

Jin Nakashima
Ardmore, Oklahoma

When this British Airways Boeing 747-400 was approaching London Heathrow Airport’s Runway 27L, the “Queen of the Sky” created what could have been the world’s largest heart. It could be seen as the warm heart of Joe Sutter, who designed and built what many consider one of the greatest aircraft, ever. 

COMMERCIAL AVIATION Editor’s Picks

Santiago Borja
Quito, Ecuador

City lights from Venezuela merge with the glow of far-off Amazonian oil wells, and the clear Milky Way glows above them, as seen from 34,000 ft. onboard a Boeing 767 flying from Europe to Ecuador.

For many flight attendants, flying is more than a job; it is a dream fulfilled. This crew member definitely has her eye on flying.

Stratolaunch’s “Roc,” the largest aircraft in the world by wingspan, took flight for the first time on April 13. After a test flight lasting more than 2 hr., pilot Evan Thomas did this low approach before coming back around for a picture-perfect landing.

SPACE Editor’s Picks

John Kraus
Satellite Beach, Florida

The fury of United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket is evident in this close-up photograph of the vehicle’s single RD-180 engine and five Aerojet Rocketdyne AJ-60A solid rocket motors, which powered the AEHF-5 satellite to orbit on Aug. 8.

The engine exhaust and the rotor’s prop wash from an Israeli Air Force Boeing AH-64A Apache “Peten” creates art in the sky as the aircraft drops flares during the blue hour in the desert.

An F-15 turns above the Israeli desert.

GENERAL AVIATION Editor’s Picks

Ben Ullings
Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands

A farmer spraying very dry land added an extra rainbow dimension to the farewell of a Catalina PBY-5A departing the Netherlands on May 29 to join the Collings Foundation fleet. It was accompanied by four Fokker S-11 “Instructor” aircraft and a Dutch-based AT-6 Texan.

Mother Nature provided quite a backdrop during this stunning sunrise photo shoot. Several minutes into the flight, the rainbow appeared and added another dynamic dimension to the landscape as Allen Floyd piloted his Rutan Model 61 Long-EZ, which he has named  “Excalibur,” along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.
