Stunning pictures over Heathrow

Geoffrey Thomas

By Geoffrey Thomas Sun Aug 24, 2014

There are good aviation photographers, great aviation photographers and then there is Sam Chui.

Mr Chui’s photography is breathtaking and he will go to almost any length to get the perfect shot, including being perched in a helicopter over some of the world's great airports.

His latest conquest was to gain permission to photograph aircraft at the world’s busiest international airport, Heathrow, from a helicopter and the results are stunning.

In pursuit of his passion Mr Chui has flown 1138 sectors on 150 airlines and accumulated 5,037 hours of flight time. And in those 5,037 hours he has flown 2.34 million miles.

Mr Chui flies on airlines most travellers would never see including those in North Korea and remotest Africa.

Mr Chui’s newest book Air3 is due for release shortly and we will advise details shortly.
