Swing your partner - Do-Si-Do; around the airspace we will go! Folks, it's called RVSM, it's backed up with TCAS/ACAS and other wonderful electronic inventions. It's highlighted by GPS/WAAS navigation putting aircraft directly on top of one-another on routes. Any one of you who feels uncomfortable with this doesn't sit where you'd ever notice. Happy Trails! --DtD

Shows how big the 747 is as it is 1000 ft higher than the 340. The chance of getting a photo with 2 airliners in the same visible air space are next to none yet nicely captured here.

Seeing two planes converging on such a direct path and capturing the instant that they 'touch' makes this photo an outstanding one, in my opinion.

A visitor from France posted Fri July 6, 2007:
Magnificent shot! Obviously intentional but still you've got to marvel at the pilots nerves.

A visitor from United States posted Wed May 23, 2007:
Unique shot. How many chances does one get where two four engine jets corss eachother's path heading in exact opposite direction... and then have a camera ready for the shot, which turns out great.

A visitor from Indonesia posted Sun May 20, 2007:
Great moment, great angle, lucky you and teach me how you do it

A visitor from Australia posted Tue April 24, 2007:
Wow! Obviously the two aircraft were at the designated different altitudes for flight in opposite directions, or simply seperated by air traffic control. Just as well! A bit too close for comfort, however.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed October 25, 2006:
Great pic! This is RVSM airspace so the minimum separation on reciprocal tracks is 1000 ft. It is also impossible to judge separation from directly below!

Don't get me wrong, but this is just an optical ilusion, the 747 looks weel above of A340, I would say 2000 ,3500 feet above

Great photo! Gotta show this one to a friend of mine. He says the A340 is bigger than the 747. But this picture shows that's not true. How did you find out about the Airline and registration? I don't see it on the plane itself.

A visitor from United States posted Fri February 17, 2006:
There'e nothing 'hit and miss' about this great shot.
The British press made a big thing out of a similar optical illusion recently when a JAL 777 and a DHL A300 were photographed in the 'stack' over East London. They claimed it was a near miss but in fact there was standard 1000 feet seperation. It was a particularly clear day and the telephoto lens foreshortened the gap. I guess that as these two are trailing we are up at about 20,000 ft minimum so telephoto lens foreshortening becomes even greater.

Hard to catch the planes

This picture is not excelent because someone just caught it on camera it is fabulous because of it's detail and more than this i think that the traffic controllers wanted this flights to fly one above other because they could just told them to fly a litlle more to the left or to the right. SO IT IS A VERY GOOD PICTURE indeed

One of the best desktop wallpapers I ever had. The way the photographer took the picture, with both planes flying diagonally on it make it a very nice picture. I like it! brgds / (gp)
