Aviation Photos

Post by nigelb »

Lots of Aviation photos from around the world, all taken recently.

http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/08/in_flight.html

I liked #31! ;-)

In contrast - some have been posted before I think, but worth a second and third look.

I liked a lot of those! Some even have aircraft in them. :lol:

I never understood this flight attendant thingy.......well when at LHR I can go to a desk that advertised special deals and be within my legal rights to demand they prove it.........simply because that's what it says.

Try the same with the ladies walking around with Virgin on their lapel and there's trouble :roll: : :dunno:

Oo-er.. I'd be happy to sit through any pre-flight instruction on where the exits are. No need for a lifejacket there :worried:

Nigel, brilliant stuff. Some of those photos in the first link are stunning ! :thumbsup:

As for the flight attendants ( or air stewardesses as they are properly known ) was there a race between the world's major airlines to fit out their female staff with the daftest hats possible ? :roll:
