Ground crew posing

Each plane that will be flying an exhibition flight at the Paris Air Show must be very slowly and carefully towed to the flight line, usually through large throngs of people who want to get as close to the aircraft as possible, even as it rolls along the tarmac. The job of keeping the audience back falls to a ground crew, and here we see that ground crew posing for a photograph with a giant Airbus A380--the world's largest passenger plane--behind them, about to turn onto the runway for its show flight.
