    A380 Lineup At Dawn

    As we were pulling up to the gate from an early morning flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport near Mumbai to Dubai International Airport, I looked out of the window and saw the lineup of the Airbus A380s. I waited for the perfect moment to get the framing just right. As a bonus the lighting outside seemed to match the lighting inside the cabin.

    Lufthansa Airbus 350 Delivery

    Lufthansa's first Airbus 350 is shown during the delivery event at Munich International on Dec. 21, 2016. Freezing fog and windy conditions made the 1-hr. delay feel like forever. Needless to say, it was totally worth it.
