To celebrate 30 years of flights to London Heathrow, American Airlines has released this tremendous, nay, glorious image of members of staff dating from 1988. I think it's probably the hair - just the wrong side of boufant - that does it for us. As to whether the jet is still in service, well, it's American, so who knows...

A press release from Taiwan's favourite carrier Eva Air stumbled this way the other day, announcing it was going to paint another two of its Airbus A330s in Hello Kitty livery and increase the number of destinations served by the jets. While I quite like Eva for the sheer eye-melting cuteness of it all, I'm not sure I'd ever want to travel on the Hello Kitty express - imagine the shrieking... Also note the attention to detail in painting the tug in a similar colour scheme. Lawks.

Pictured on our AirSpace gallery, courtesy of user Dave Vaughan, is this terrific night shot of an Air Tahiti Nui Airbus A340-300 (F-OSEA). According to our Ascend data tool-a-majig the aircraft is a 2001-built airframe which the airline operated from new.

I happened to be looking for something else when I stumbled on this photo of a US Airways Airbus A330 on Flightglobal AirSpace. Not wishing to play it down, but it's not the most spectacular shot. That said I still love the composition.

Lovely shot here from user TallDutch Flightglobal's AirSpace gallery of a KLM 777-300ER (PH-BVD) in Skyteam livery taking off from Amsterdam Schiphol airport.
Pictured is the 1,000th 777 to roll off Boeing's Everett production line at a handover ceremony on Friday. Taken by Gulf airline Emirates, this particular example is a -300ER. The carrier has a fleet of 102 777s, with a further 93 on order.
