Two Aviation Photos

On a business trip in Osaka, I don’t have time to write a long post, so let me share two interesting aviation news photos with everyone.

The first one is the Boeing 787-9 from the Farnborough Airshow. Taken from directly behind the tail, it surprisingly looks like a cute bear face. Source: ainonline.com.

The second one involves the A340 aircraft carrying British diving prodigy Tom Daley from Shanghai to London, which made an emergency landing in Russia due to technical reasons. He posted a photo on Instagram showing fuel being dumped before the landing. Source: news.sky.com.

For knowledge regarding fuel dumping in flight, you can refer to Aviation Knowledge Series 148: How do aircraft dump fuel rapidly in the air.
