Emirates Airbus A380 takeoff from runway 23R as UAE 18 to DXB (Dubai International Airport). Behind you can see a First Choice A320 who make a go around shortly before touchdown because a car checkt the runway after the departure of the A380.

The majesty of China Airlines B747 takeoff

This view of the plane taking off looks spectacular due to the orange hues of the sunset in the background.

Space shuttle Discovery, mounted atop a NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), flies over the Washington skyline.

Speed of sound: This 'vapor cone' is created by a plane at high speed, and can often be seen when planes approach the sound barrier.

This plane passing through the top of a cloud produces a spectacular wave effect.

The ice and water picked up when a plane passes through a cloud can become part of the vapor trail.

The cloud vapors spin around the vortex trail left by the plane, creating this twister effect behind it.

The plumes combined with natural light can produce some spectacular effects (left). The image on the right shows the effect of a sonic boom from below the aircraft.

The vortices are created by low-pressure air spinning around behind the wing, as shown by the visible circles in this shot.

Turbulence created by the massive change in air pressure can affect aircraft flying behind planes, meaning they cannot land too close to each other.

You won't see anywhere else, the Russian Swifts vertical flight up to a stall followed by rapid firing of the flares and a tail-slide, a maneuver which isn't done by any other team.

Spectacular vortices and contrails!

Parting the sky: As planes fly through clouds, the air pressure splits the cloud, as shown by this Boeing 767, taken above Gatwick airport.

Bursting through: When a plane creates a hole in a cloud, the sunlight shining through can create some spectacular effects.

Dusk: The vortices that are formed by the aircraft can come off in erratic patterns, shown by the light hitting the trails at sunset.

Red arrow: Colored smoke was added to the plume as this plane landed as part of a Nasa test to measure the effect of vortices on the air behind aircraft.
