Formation Flying for Jet Airplanes
747 & 757 - close call formation flyers
|
A Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 are on a simultaneous landing on the parallel runways 28L and 28R at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Real runway separation is 225 meters. Due to the Jumbo being 3 times larger than the 757 and being behind gives us this fantastic optical illusion seeming to fly too near together...  see also Illusion & Plane Sections
