Airports and Airplanes from Around the World

Modified: Jul 15, 2019 · Published: Feb 11, 2010 by Dave Lee |

I passed through a lot of airports on my trip around the world, big and small. 

I boarded everything from a six-seater in Botswana to a jumbo jet to Thailand, and I always had my camera ready to go.

I was "that guy" fiddling with his camera on the tarmac as the flights were boarding in China, Qatar, and many places in between. How else could I get you some of these shots?
