The year 2010 will come to a close at the end of this week and in addition to posting the top 10 videos of 2010, the Flight Global blog has also posted the top 10 aviation pictures of 2010. These aviation pictures included the following:
1. PICTURES: Finnish F-18 engine check reveals effects of volcanic dust
3. PICTURES: Extent of peripheral damage to Qantas A380 unclear
4. PICTURES Airbus catalogues A380 damage

Our vote for the number one aviation picture of 2010 would also go for the photo of Finish air force Hornet’s engine after it had inadvertently flew through volcanic dust from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland.
