Richard Kreider has taken a stunning image of an Emirates 777-300ER framed by the moon on approach to Perth Airport from Dubai.

Mr Kreider took the photo in August when the moon was at 96 per cent one day before the full moon
which is called the Full Sturgeon Moon.

Born at a US Air Force base in France during the Cold War years Richard Kreider jokes that his first breath probably had a liberal dose of fumes from aircraft engines. And that exposure continued with him living under the flight path to Heathrow in his teenage years and he joined the Air Training Corps.

“I enjoyed the challenge of shooting night flight,” said Mr Kreider. “It is a hobby that does have its challenges since you have to respect the security of the airport and immediate surrounds.”

About AirlineRatings.com

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.

Airlineratings.com has information on over 30 types of aircraft from the latest Boeing 787 to the A380 and smaller jets.
