Our friend the GeoEye-1 satellite, which tirelessly photographs the world at half-meter resolution from its constant orbit, swung by the Dubai Airport the other day and took this snap of the Dubai Airshow, in progress this week.

Thanks, GeoEye-1!

The Dubai Airshow is the largest aerospace event in the Middle East and the fastest-growing airshow in the world.
