(rt) Interesting aviation photography

• Gorgeous: check out these long-exposure plane trails. [Via]
• Stunning images of Africa from above come from George Steinmetz & his ultralight. [Via]
• Shuttles:
  • Here’s some interesting HDR video footage (captured at 250fps) showing a Shuttle launch.
  • Shuttle/ISS crews captured a lovely aurora. [Via]
• Giant planes as Russian dolls: One C-5 consuming the front of another one. (Ever since attending a recent air show, our little Henry has been claiming to be a C-17, eating “trucks” (my fingers).)
