One was shot from the flightdeck of an Airbus A320 descending to Bhutan's Paro airport, "widely believed to be the most difficult approach in the world" as the runway, at 7,300ft, is surrounded by 18,000ft peaks.

FlightBlogger also posted his photos of Lufthansa's first Boeing 747-8 flying in Everett.

Our Image of the Day blog carried a Lockheed Martin shot (above) of the 11th C-5B aircraft inducted to the C-5M Super Galaxy production line, and on Asian Skies Greg Waldron noted Boeing's dig at the Lockheed Martin F-35 in the title of a Singapore briefing on "the balanced and evolutionary approach to fighter design versus the challenges of fielding a 'revolutionary' design affordably and on schedule

FlightBlogger Jon Ostrower continued his unrivalled Boeing Commercial Airplanes coverage, focusing this week on the deal with unions to ensure the 737 Max is made in Seattle.

Aviation safety is the subject of entries from John Croft on his general aviation blog As the Cro(ft) Flies, and from David Learmount on his eponymous blog.

Croft praises the robustness of the Air Tractor after a crash in which the pilot survived and was quoted as saying: "If I'd had been flying anything else, I'd have been dead."

Learmount bemoans the lack of risk awareness among sections of the helicopter community in a blog accompanied by real-time video of a low-altitude accident on an Auckland construction site, in which the chopper was torn in two but from which the pilot walked away, albeit shakily.

In Day 1's issue, FlightBlogger gave a guide to the Boeing 747-8i and Craig Hoyle briefed on the Eurofighter Typhoon's role in the Libyan conflict.

The Day 2 issue led on the Dassault Rafale's display and had Dominic Perry's take on the Eurocopter X3, plus a Solar Impulse piece from Kerry Reals, who authors our blog The Green Wing.

And Day 3 brought a Bombardier CRJ1000 cutaway and Ghim-Lay Yeo's tour of the Mitsubishi Regional Jet cabin, plus a Russian aircraft focus.

Also on offer across the issues were news round-ups, galleries, a NATO AGS cutaway and a spotter's quiz.

We also toured inside the Korean AIr A380, the aircraft that saved the day when it stepped in to perform aerial displays in place of the Airbus A380 flight test aircraft, MSN 004 which suffered a damaged wingtip following an incident in which it "touched a structure" during ground manoeuvres at the Le Bourget Airport.

You can still check out all the coverage from last week's Paris Air Show on our dedicated page including images, video, twitter, news and blogs.

Korean Air has decided to put a duty free shop in its fleet of A380s.

Instead of seats for 13 passengers, it will install a fully functioning shop, selling alcohol and beauty products. Kerry Reals, Flightglobal's deputy news editor and Green Wing blog author questions whether this initiative cancels out all the hard work the industry is putting into reducing aircraft weight to save fuel.

See images of the Air France Airbus A330-200 that crashed into the south Atlantic in 2009 killing everyone onboard.

The pictures include snapshots of the engines, sections of the wing, fuselage and landing gear.

However, there is no immediate indication that the search has located the rear fuselage where the  flight recorders are installed behind the rear pressure bulkhead.

Our 'Guess the Airport' competition returns with new images of airports taken from Google maps. To take part, just post the airport name and IATA code in the comments below on the Flight Blog.

Six pilots from the Air France flying club planning to land in 100 aerodromes in only 24 hours as part of the Breitling 100/24 Cup challenge in June in a bid to promote general, light and business aviation and regional accessibility. See more information about the challenge on the Flight Blog.

FlightBlogger Jon Ostrower was in Everett, Seattle, to cover the rollout of the Boeing 747-8I and his flurry of activity can be seen on our dedicated page which gives you background information on the aircraft programme, the story so far, 210 images to pore over, video, Twitter and news as it happened.

Elbit performed joint sorties with the Hermes-family of UAVs highlighting the cost benefits of using a common GCS capable of simultaneously controlling two parallel missions, each managed by a single operator. See a video of the software in action.

Take a look at the 18 February issue 100 years ago in the Flightglobal archive to see what was important in the world of aviation back then.

The front page has two images taken at Brooklands in Surrey; which "give some idea of the gatherings which assemble day by day around the actual flving village. In the upper photograph Tom Sopwith is flying his Howard Wright biplane... In the bottom picture Mr. Low, one of the expert pilots of the Bristol Co., is making one of his fine flights round the aerodrome."

Flightglobal has launched Atlas, a new realtime aircraft tracking service overlaying aircraft/airline flight data onto Google Maps to provide a flight tracking service. Over the coming weeks and months Atlas will have new features and enhancements. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

FlightBlogger reports that Greenpoint Technologies, which is already supplying the SkyLoft overhead space utilization (OSU) on Boeing's 747-8I VIP, has dreamed up an addition to the new jumbo that looks as though it has come straight out of a James Bond Film. The firm has designed an internal elevator that exits on the outside of the aircraft! Not surprisingly it's called the SkyLift. Greenpoint is in talks with two customers about the product.

The aircraft recently completed power-on tests and the manufacturer is now focussing on the integration of avionics and other electrical systems.

See a blog post by Runway Girl with images of the Continental Airlines Boeing 787 mock-up.

The airline unveiled a sneak preview of its new aircraft interior at the 2010 National Business Travel Association (NBTA) International Convention & Expo.

The airline says the mock-up offers "a glimpse of what's ahead for air travel in the future" and includes some of the carrier's regular BusinessFirst seats with Panasonic Avionics in-flight entertainment.

The carrier has ordered 25 787s with deliveries beginning in the third quarter of 2011.

You can't fail to raise a smile when you see a short video of a good humoured pillow fight among passengers and a flight attendant on a Lufthansa aircraft while the attendant hands out pillows to passengers before takeoff.

The team worked tirelessly to bring you news, blog posts from FlightBlogger, Learmount and As the Cro(ft) Flies, images, and videos of interviews with the movers and shakers of the business aviation community.

You can find all this throughout the pages of the interactive magazine and our dedicated EBACE 2010 page. And see what was being said on twitter by following the show's hashtag.

Eurocopter joined forces with automotive and design powerhouse Mercedes Benz to launch an interior for its entrepreneurial EC145 customers who work hard and play hard.

And then there's the Design Q and BAE Systems partnership that unveiled striking interior concepts including one where the cargo door opens to reveal an air deck described as the "ultimate living space".

The A380 celebrated its 5th birthday since its first flight.

We collated all our content, so why not revisit articles Flight International wrote including one about Airbus and Boeing pursuing different strategies to meet air travel demand and whether Airbus can produce an A380 freighter. See, also, a video of the giant making its first flight.

See an animation illustrating the revival of air traffic across Europe following the closure of airspace during the Icelandic volcanic ash crisis. Transport mapping specialist ITO has compiled the sequence of images, with the aid of real-time flight-monitoring site Flightradar24 which draws data from a network of amateur tracking stations.

Our dedicated Icelandic ash cloud page kept users up to date with news from our own journalists and from around the web using realtime multimedia publishing platform CoverItLive which spewed out plumes of information from Twitter about the grounding of aircraft, live satellite images from NASA and ESA and the Met Office tracking the travelling ash cloud over European airspace.

Watch David Learmount's video explaining consequences and the impact of this unique event, and what the aviation world needs to do to be prepared for the next similar occurrence, as Icelandic authorities warn Europe that more volcanic eruptions are forecast over the next 20 years.

Have a look at images the Finnish air force released of its Boeing F-18 Hornets which show the effects of volcanic dust ingestion from inside the engines.

The jets were involved in a training exercise just hours before the imposition of airspace restrictions due to the ash cloud spreading.

And Flight covered the dangers to aircraft engines 28 years ago. Read an archive feature about Capt Eric Moody gliding to safety his British Airways Boeing 747 into Jakarta, Indonesia.

See our page dedicated to last week's first flight of the Boeing 747-8F. We covered the event using Twitter, video images, and compiled content to give you "the story so far". See AirSpace user Andrew Siebert's jet City Report blog post on the event. There are some great images as the new freighter lifts off the ground.

See a forum post about easyJet selling Starbucks coffee to passengers. A cup of Starbucks coffee will cost €3, compared to €2.5 for other coffee brands served on the company's flights.

Runway Girl Mary Kirby writes a post about economy seating in the Boeing 787. Recaro Comfort Line's "ultra slim seating", which Mary says is already installed in Qantas Airways' Airbus A380 economy-class cabins "is attracting a lot of interest from airlines", and suggests Boeing is considering a version of the same seating may be used. "Hey, it's got hammocks for your feet! Why the hell not?" she says.  

See the video channel currently highlighting four videos that look back at Flight 1549, one year on. One video shows Capt "Sully" testifying on the challenges on aviation before the House Aviation SubCommittee.

The Airline Business Blog posts a piece about the recent Haitian earthquake. Lori Ranson says that numerous carriers that have offered help and aid but the Port au Prince airport continues to face challenges in handling the large volume of relief efforts. Humanitarian agencies are having trouble gaining access to the airport. There's a great image uploaded to AirSpace showing two hard workers keeping the windscreen of an A330 clean before takeoff.
