Remark Photographer
B-HLC (cn 099) "Are you looking at me 'cos I'm looking at you and I've got right of way!" A one in a million shot for me, which left me estatic. I saw the 2 SQ B747s being held to allow the CX A330 to pass, and decided to try a photo. I didn't realise that the two sets of pilots would be having a staring match.

Great photo...a rare sight these days due to sia phasing out 747s...love it!

Great photo, one of the very best on a.net. You were one very fortunate photographer!!

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 16, 2009:
Staring contest: SQ vs. CX, nice! However, I really feel that the CX A330 should've given way to the two SQ 747s, since it is their home base!

A visitor from Germany posted Thu July 16, 2009:
Really interesting what some captains viewing for...

A visitor from - posted Tue July 7, 2009:
This is funny considering they're at the singapore changi airport, looks like the cathay pacific plane gets to go first instead of the locals haha.

Great, it is funny

A visitor from Mauritius posted Sun May 24, 2009:
I wouldn't be staring at others on the taxiway while having my wheels tilted at that angle with an A330...the staring game might take long enough for the plane to wander off to the grass!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat May 16, 2009:
Grate shot guys!

A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Mon May 11, 2009:
Shows the side of aviation we sometimes forget, that is these are vehicles with people in them, all trying to get to a certain place at the same time, but to catch it on camera is awesome! BTW whoever reaches the intersection first gets through: I saw a BA 777 hold for a gulfstream at AUH

A visitor from Norway posted Mon May 11, 2009:
European engineering vs. american engineering..
Or: SQ B744 pilots: Oh my, that's the 99th A330-300 ever built, let the oldies pass first!

It is a very beautiful picture!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun December 7, 2008:
The best part of this photo, is the fact the the 47's cockpit windows look like they are giving evils! great photo. they gave right of way to the right aircraft :P

Boeing: "Ladies first"
amazing shot, truly unique

A visitor from Germany posted Sat September 27, 2008:
The B747 pilot probably said to himself "Screw you ground control!"LOL!! Amazing photo! One in a million

I thought it was airbus's kissing airbus's and boeing's kissing boeing's but this takes it away big time

A 5 star ailine vs a 5 star airline!!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed April 23, 2008:
There is something about this shot that demonstrates the huge size of the 747's. And the red line and position of the A330 is perfect. Great composition. Well done.

A visitor from United States posted Wed April 16, 2008:
What was ATC thinking?!? Great shot! I love the Star logo on the SQ 747

A visitor from United States posted Wed April 2, 2008:

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 17, 2008:
It would be even better if the 747 crew was sticking out their tongues.

A visitor from Jamaica posted Thu November 22, 2007:
What really caught my attention about this shot is the stare down between the CP and the SA pilots. And who's in the audience? SA's twin sister. Totally awesome! Normally, the bigger guys get the pass but not in this case; even they have to wait their turn. You also managed to catch the noses just perfectly - looks as if the B747 is kissing the A330 on the right cheek! Great shot!

A visitor from United States posted Wed November 21, 2007:
Wow!

A visitor from Mauritius posted Thu November 1, 2007:
Ha ha, amazing, lol. two 747's had to wait for the smaller A330 to pass. Now thats what i call authority.

A visitor from Czech Republic posted Mon October 29, 2007:
Great photo and timing

A visitor from United States posted Tue July 17, 2007:
5 stars great pic

A visitor from United States posted Thu July 5, 2007:
Haha those 747 pilots probably think the A330 pilots a newbie.

A visitor from India posted Mon December 11, 2006:

A visitor from Poland posted Fri November 3, 2006:
Fantastic view!! Great photo.

A visitor from United States posted Tue October 17, 2006:
Bet the pilots in the 747s gave the pilots in the A330 the finger.

This is an awsome picture. i wish i could have been ther to see it. it is like a once in a life time view. one day when i am a pilot for a major airline i hope to see things like this everyday.

A visitor from Poland posted Thu March 23, 2006:
