Photo of the Week (weekly photos 2014/8/12)

1 A photo of an aircraft with the Moon in the background. The craters on the Moon are clearly visible, but the aircraft is too small to see clearly; it might be an easyJet A320.

2 Inside the flight deck of a Frankfurt cargo McDonnell Douglas MD-11. This McDonnell Douglas MD-11F is flying over Cairo.

3 Qatar Airways flight QR23 (Dubai to Manchester, aircraft type A330-302) was intercepted by Royal Air Force fighter jets. The aircraft landed at Manchester, but the airport was simultaneously closed, and other flights were diverted to Leeds Airport. The fighter jet is a Eurofighter Typhoon; I recall we called it the EF-2000 back in the 80s.

4 Typhoon No. 11 seen from space. These cloud layers are too spectacular!

5 ANA’s famous Mohawk-liveried aircraft is being repainted to the standard livery. I previously introduced it in the Kobe Airport photography notes. It’s a real pity…
