 A visitor from - posted Tue October 27, 2009:It actually looks like both jets were racing to the runway to see who was the first to land at SFO. They also seem to be touching the tip of their wings. Awesome picture! | |
 A visitor from United States posted Wed October 21, 2009:What a moment cought. It is something you would not see every day. Even for those who flying it is looking unusual. From this angle looks like jets are about to touch each other. Very good picture! | |

 A visitor from Norway posted Mon May 11, 2009:If they really could have been as close as it looks, without crashing: *sleepy 4 year old opens his window on the United B752* "MOM! There's a jumbo jet right next to us!" | |

| A visitor from United States posted Sun May 20, 2007: The pilots in the 757 didn't listen to the tower when they said they would be landing next to a 747, soon they hear a loud noise look out the right side of the plane then, HOLY CRAP | |

| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun December 31, 2006: To see two aircraft on approach in such apparent proximity in a photograph and with such remarkable clarity is unusual which goes a long way to making it exciting and brilliant; it also shows what a huge aircraft the 747 is when compared with a twin jet engined passenger plane. | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed November 29, 2006: That is an amazing photo. Like everyone else I thought they were almost touching and they sure look a lot closer than 750 feet apart. Lucky you to have been there ready with camera to catch it. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed November 1, 2006: I didn't know you could do stunt flying with a 747 and a 757. It doesn't look like they're 750 feet apart!! I wonder how many passengers headed for the restrooms after getting off, LOL! Very shocking, very cool photography!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed October 18, 2006: I was there several days later. I have seen both planes but never in such a fantastic shot. One of the greatest photos of all time. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Fri August 11, 2006: Its a beauty seeing two Star Alliance aircrafts close together, and I wouldn't think they would be 750 ft apart. Wished I was on one of those. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue August 8, 2006: This is such a beautiful shot because it seems the 747 is about to swallow the 757.good job Ben. | |

| A visitor from Canada posted Tue May 23, 2006: Touch, dont touch, touch, dont touch ... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon May 22, 2006: The timing of getting both aircraft on different glide paths in almost parallel positions is pretty difficult to pull off. A pretty good shot, definitely. | |

| A visitor from - posted Thu May 18, 2006: Are they glued together? | |

| A visitor from - posted Tue April 18, 2006: The first impression I got was "there is gonna be a crash" - and I was ready to look into the online news for an incident at SFO on this date... poor me and my soul, all I had to do was read the comments. HAHA! This is brilliant! - a keeper. | |
