Spotlights on the Soyuz

Eminent NASA photography Bill Ingalls hopped in a helicopter to get this fantastic shot of the recovery party, somewhere out near Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, collecting the recently returned Soyuz crew. NASA's Sunita Williams, JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko spent four months aboard the International Space Station before returning on November 19, 2012.
