  • An American Airlines male flight attendant stands with his crew baggage against a window at Dallas Fort Worth airport, Texas. Dressed in the corporate airline uniform he stands erect with a hand in his pocket, his ID badge clipped to his jacket and a pin conveying his command of the Japanese language. A mesh screen partially obscures drab concrete buildings outside which can be seen through the glass. Dallas Fort Worth is the sixth busiest airport in the world transporting 59,064,360 passengers in 2005. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903..

  • Lit by ambient light from airfield spotlights and with an American Airlines jet in the background, is one of three footing support struts belonging to Heathrow Airport's new control tower which is seen at night on the airfield's apron, the movement area where arriving and departing aircraft pass-by. The 285 feet (87 m) high tower is more than twice the height of the original, and was designed by Richard Rogers and constructed by Arup, costing £50m. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). ..

  • A boy spreads his hands and fingers out on a Gatwick South Terminal window. Outside is the nose of an American Northwest Airlines DC-10 with its third engine mounted high on the rear fuselage) that is parked at a satellite gate at London Gatwick airport. The boy is a silhouette against subdued light and the aircraft's nose resembles a shark's face that is menacingly close to the young child. Such is the flattening of perspective by a telephoto lens, the aircraft looks much closer than in reality. Gatwick airport, as well as Heathrow, Stansted, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Southampton in the UK, is owned and administered by BAA, the British Airport Authority.

  • An airline flight-engineer occupies his own seat in the cockpit of a Boeing 747 - before the era arrived when technology made his role as a third flight crew member redundant. With a bowl of fresh fruit beside his seat, the male member of the flight-deck crew watches instruments and readings in front of the unseen pilots at the front. Wearing the three stripes designating his rank and seniority within his unspecified airline, the specialist's skills are in engineering systems that maintain efficient flight. When introduced, the Boeing 747-400 model was equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispensed with the need for a flight engineer - many of whom lost their jobs or retrained as pilots themselves.

  • A hand steadies an awkward event banner showing the fleet of modern airliners belonging to European consortium, Airbus during the bi-annual aerospace industry expo at the Farnborough airshow in southern England. From the top of the banner we see the short-haul A319 type to the bottom which has featured the long-range A340-600 version. Alongside each model's profile, we see the aircraft's statistics and performance figures. Airbus is the main competitor to the American Boeing range of modern airliners. Airbus is an aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of EADS, a European aerospace company. Based in Blagnac, France, the company produces approximately half of the world's jet airliners, employing around 63,000 people at sixteen sites in four European Union countries: France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain.

  • A moon-walking NASA astronaut model stands in the middle of two terminal escalators - as an airline pilot glides past at Miami International airport. As the state from where all the Apollo moonshots were launched at Cape Canaveral, Florida is proud of its space race heritage. Like US astronauts of that era, the airline pilot may be an ex-military aviator too now flying commercial aircraft from hubs like Miami and across the US.

  • A businessman hurries past a gient Boeing advertising poster during the Farnborough Air Show, England. The poster shows Boeing staff smiling towards the viewer whi;le standing in front of a 737 airliner, specially adapted for business and corporate use, rather than for just economy and premium passengers. The wokforce seem overjoyed to work for this American aircraft manufacturer, grinning to the man who is rushing past their smiling faces without the slightest interest. Farnborough is a world aviation and aerospace trade fair held every two years in Hampshire, England. 2008 will be the 60th year for exhibitors like Boeing to demonstrate and showcase their airliners to the world's aviation industry.

  • A view along the fuselage of a DC3 Dakota, from its tail aileron to its propeller. Pointing upwards as it sits on a low tail wheel and with one of its 4 propellers still against a blue sky, we see the plane painted in the colours that many appeared in during the D-Day landings in June 1944, from where paratroopers jumped out for the eventual invasion of German-occupied France. The Douglas DC-3 is a fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner. Its speed and range revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Its lasting impact on the airline industry and World War II makes it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. Many DC-3s and converted C-47s are still used in all parts of the world. The designation "DC" stands for "Douglas Commercial".

  • A visitor to the General Electric (GE) exhibition stand at Britain's Farnborough Air Show, points to a feature on a massive, GE90-115B turbofan jet engine. Powering Boeing 777 airliners with up to 115,000 Pounds of thrust, this is a state-of-the-art engine that entered service in April 2004 with Air France. Its giant blades are lit with blue stage lighting to make it look iconic and imposing, dominating this picture of technology and innovation. Such mechanical excellence attached to the world's aircraft are helping to make them quieter and more energy and fuel efficient at a time when oil prices are making air travel an expensive mode of transport.

  • The wrecked remains of a Curtiss C-46 Commando WW2-era transport aircraft awaiting salvage or recycling in the desert airfield of Davis Monthan in Tucson, Arizona. The Curtiss C-46 Commando is a transport aircraft originally derived from a commercial high-altitude airliner design. It was instead used as a military transport during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces as well as the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps under the designation R5C. Known to the men who flew them as "The Whale," the "Curtiss Calamity," the "plumber's nightmare" and the "flying coffin," At the time of its production, the C-46 was the largest twin-engine aircraft in the world, and the largest and heaviest twin-engine aircraft to see service in World War II.

  • At the foot of a tree located opposite the charred Pentagon building days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, children have made a makeshift memorial by placing a garland around the model of a military B52 bomber, a NASA space Shuttle,  portrait of a smiling president George W Bush and their own interpretation of the attacks on the Twin Towers - with airliners flying towards those symbols of capitalism.  Icons of American technology and patriotic success lie on the ground here beneath the tree near Arlington military Cemetery. In a show of unity, many of those gathered on the grass to view the damage done by terrorists worked for the government or defence organisations, their Hawkish rhetoric appearing to suggest heavy-handed retaliation on those held responsible.

  • We see a male passenger from the waste down with a laptop computer in one hand and a Retriever puppy peering out from his owner's bag in the other, both human and pet are about to board a domestic flight from Chicago O'Hare airport. According to the American Transport Security Administration, taking pets into the aircraft cabin is permissable but the animal is required to be presented to the Security Officers at the checkpoint. it may also walk with its owner through the metal detector but not through the x-ray scanner.

  • Empty chairs and open Bibles, all bathed in yellow artificial light make this airport chapel in Frankfurt am Main, Germany a European modernist haven from the chaos of global air travel; an escape from delays, terrorism and overall fears of flying. Predominately Christian with small corners for Muslim believers, the new modernism at Frankfurt/Main reflects a strong European tradition of functional design ? far removed from the drab, dourness of many similar American facilities.
