2fat2fly 0 #1 December 3, 2004 A Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 are on a simultaneous landing approach on the parallel runways 28L and 28R at SFO. Real runway separation is only 225 meters. Due to the telephoto distortion, the Jumbo 747 being 3 times larger than the 757 and being behind it, gives us this fantastic optical illusion seeming to fly so near together...ostensibly inches from each other!!I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustaBill 0 #2 December 3, 2004 That's a cool pic, not sure I'd want to be a passenger in either of the planes though. Would be really wierd to have a plane landing next to yours like that------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #3 December 3, 2004 You get used to it flying in and out of SFO. And it's fun. It's like you're racing. Gives you something to watch on landing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustaBill 0 #4 December 3, 2004 it would still freak me out I know on my train I don't like stopping if there is something moving next to me. Messes with the sensation of how fast I'm actually going------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
