Incredible! Good observation regarding the rudder. | |
Awesome--Sadiq | |
One of the best aviation photos I've ever seen! | |
Nice visual effect, really looks like they are in contact. | |
Wow!!!!!! INCREDIBLE SHOT!!!!!!! | |
Amazing Shot! | |
It looks like they're holding hands on the way down about to land! :) | |
Looks like my FSX AI traffic...Awesome shot! | |
Awesome! It looks like they share a wing. | |
Great scene | |
The closeness and capture is amazing,it looks like no room for error.. | |
Incredible by the way the lufthansa 747 is wondurful. | |
Ah, the magical effect of a zoom lens at work. | |
The aircraft looks like Mother and Father.Awesome! | |
And coming in to the home stretch, it's United ahead by a nose, Lufthansa making a move on the outside. They're neck and neck, it looks like it'll be a photo finish, folks.... | |
It almost looks like they are connected! How long do you have to stand and wait to capture something like this? | |
My Boeing Ferrari is better than your Boeing Mustang!! | |
Unbelieveable! | |
I'm watching for a long time this incredible situation ,undoubtedly the focal lenght of telephoto lens does its part , and although it is explained that they are landing on two different tracks , I cannot imagine the real route they are. Ciao Riccardo | |
Star Alliance teamwork | |
Cute! | |
This such a cool photo - cheers! | |
Amazing shot...looks like 757 is lending a shoulder to its brother following an injury :D | |
The United 757 seems to be helping the Lufty 744 descend =) | |
Terrific | |
Just amazing and what perfect timing Ben, thank you for shareing your fantastic work with us.. | |
This is an awesome picture | |
Bizarre it looks like the ua is helping the lh .amazing shot | |
Great one! | |
Awesome | |
First of all congrats for this amazing 5* photo. As an air traffic controller and a person who knows physics I have to explain sth. These two are at least 3 miles apart diagonally. Explanation: 1. It is not allowed to be less than that. 2. Angle at which this photo is taken is at least 45 deg and both a/c looks parallel. All credits to the photographer for capturing the moment but these a/c are not as nearly close as you think. | |
Great! Hope that this was not a product of a PHOTOSHOP. It is better if this was an accidental images... ;) | |
It's interesting to see the different angles of attack for the landing. The 757 seems to have a much more nose down angle than the 747. Next question? Is the rudder being held into place by a trim switch or is this a manual position by the pilots foot rudder pedal? Hope that doesn't sound dumb. | |
Very rare situation to capture! | |
Imagine if they were both A380s or 747s. | |
Wow, I can't believe you took this photo. Amazing 5 star photo. | |
Is it star or sky allience? code share or runway share? :) | |
Superb photography,impossible to tell that there is some distance between the two aircrafts. deb | |
Great. five out of five | |
Hatsoff to the photographer | |
WOW! What an amazing shot! How was this picture taken? | |
Great pic : ))) | |
Great! | |
Notice the different angles of the fuselages at the same point of approach! | |
Are you sure they're not touching? Perfect timing, Welldone! | |
Is this a PR ad for Star Alliance? Nice shot! | |
Wow I never seen something like that | |
I look so good that at first i thought it was fake! | |
Awesome | |
It's difficult to believe the two aircraft are 1/2 mile apart. Looks more like ab inpending collision. Good use of a telephoto lens. | |
Good Picture :D | |
Very nice view angle! | |
The overlaping wings of each plane,it loo9ks like a midair collison about to happen. Wow!!!! | |
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! | |
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! | |
Probably the TCAS must be going off like crazy. | |
Its a spectacular sight to see the 747 for real! nice to see both of them side-by-side. | |
This was so confusing when I saw it for the first time. Thats the SFO action for you. Love this pic. | |
Wow...is this even possible? It doesn't look very real. Outstanding photo though. | |
Outstanding photo! | |
It looks like a person could step out of the 747 and jump right onto the 757! | |
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!" | |
Great photo! | |
Its always a wonder to see 2 planes side by side above the ground. and you guys hve done it so nicely. it looks like real... | |
Wow~ it is amazing , it is the best photo i have seen.nice job man , keep it up! | |
Great pic 5 star | |
Wow.. like mom and son.. haha... | |
Sfo landings are awesome! | |
Excellent knowledge of perspective, time and space, congratulations, one of the best pictures I`ve ever seen in my hole life | |
Great picture, amazing aproach, the view from the windows must be breath taking. | |
Wow | |
Its really really hard to believe this pic! once in a lifetime catch! | |
Those two planes are best buddies. | |
Maybe those planes are Siamese twins! | |
If the remarks is true then this is a lovely shot, i guess the photographer just happens to be in the right place at the right time. | |
Amazing amazing pic.... | |
I find it hard to believe this picture | |
Amazing shot indeed! What's also nice to see is the rather different angle of attack between the 747 and the 757. | |
What a beautiful picture! Two Boeings so close! I wish i could see two Airbus in the same shot! Neva! | |
What a beautiful picture! Two Boeings so close! I wish i could see two Airbus in the same shot! Neva! | |
Those two planes appear to be colliding with each other. I have never seen two aircraft so close together. 5****** | |
Wow! That's just amazing! | |
I love this picture # 1 | |
Okay switch it around | |
Beautiful! | |
That's an amazing picture!well done! | |
Good pic | |
Interesting note observing the difference in pitch attitude between the two. | |
Thats a wondeful shot.....its like both of em are jostling for space.... | |
Beautiful | |
Not only do you have an eye for beautiful birds, but you know how to reach inside of people and touch them in a way no other photographer can. Great job. Beautiful and graceful birds. Amazing to see how much more flaps the 75 has as compaired to it's big brother as noticed by the attitude. WOW. | |
Very good picture! Well done! First i thought the big brother shows his little brother how to land carefully:D Thanks for this shot. 5 Stars***** | |
The thing I like about this shot is you can see the heat blur on the 757 so clear, you know how to take some fantastic pictures, more of the same, Thanks. | |
It looks like the 747 has a side-car. | |
I would've been great if the shot was taken from the front | |
Very nice, Really shows of the size of the queen of the skies | |
This is such an amazing pic! What an amazing illusion!It took me ges to click on that the white wing on the ua belonged to the ua.After several loong stares you can see that it is slightly lower (I think) but woww! | |
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 | |
The visual effect of the photo of the two planes being near each other | |
This picture has coem up i nthe random picture generator on the homepage and everytime i see it i always clck on it because it's so brilliant. This was my desktop backround for a mmonth a yr ago | |
It's amazing. I have never seen any picture such as this picture in whole of my life. | |
Nothing more than amazing | |
That's an incredible shot!!! No clouds, no nothing! Just two wonderful airplanes apparently holding each other's hand trying to reach the runway peacefully and accompanied!!! wonderfully shot!! | |
Great pic | |
Amazing photo, great contrast between two beautiful airplanes! | |
Fantastic... no more words... | |
Very good picture! Very lucky, capturing a moment like this. | |
Is this for real? Scary!! | |
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet pic. unreal. how often can u get a shot like that. imagine what the passengers are thinking. lol | |
Very nice, the big brother and the little brother | |
Is incredible hoe look these 2 airplanes!!!!!! | |
Awesome pic Ben! | |
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. | |
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. | |
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!! | |
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. | |
Great shot man who shot this deserves a clap | |
Hello everyone. I love this picture. | |
Who won the race???? Cool pic.... | |
I wonder what the people in each aircraft thought when they saw another plane was THAT close! may be they startd to wave at eachother?? who knows?? :) | |
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. | |
This is such a beautiful shot because it seems the 747 is about to swallow the 757.good job Ben. | |
Oh my... super shot. | |
WOW! | |
Cool pic | |
The front top of the United looks superimposed on the other. | |
Amazing visual illusion. Great shot angle. | |
Excellent capture of hte two jets. Eventhough they ae so far from each other, they seem to be so close at the same time. | |
Cool photo !! | |
I hope they didnt crash! | |
I've heard of road rage but never 'air rage', great shot. | |
Clarity and depth of field -- colors appear to be true renderings -- composition is excellent. | |
Touch, dont touch, touch, dont touch ... | |
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. | |
Mommy wait for me...haha. Nice shot | |
Are they glued together? | |
Siamese Twins? | |
Wow that would be a pretty amazing expiriance to be abor one of those planes. | |
Nice!!! | |
Awesome. It looks like the wings are touching. It must have been scary for the passengers on both planes. | |
AWESOME!Can they really do that | |
Wow!! | |
This photo is just so bizarre, it so doesn't look 750 ft apart... :O | |
Great shot | |
Wow! :D | |
He-he-he... star alliance, in action | |
This like many others show how cameras can fool the eye. It also demonstrates the difference in size of the sister aircraft. Nice photo. | |
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. | |
Get out of my way ! | |
Oh pleas dont hurry, its not an air race. both of you can land but boeing 747 first. i love the shot, thank you BEN. | |
Size does matter ! | |
An awsome shot with two aircraft almost touching. one of the best pictures i've seen in a very long time that made my jaw drop. | |
The photo of the Greatest Airplane hug is by far the coolest thing i have ever seen. | |
My good lord! That's quite a pick. Kind of airplane pals trying to hug each other. | |
I've flown back home to SFO before with a UA747 next to our plane....it's the most awesome view!!! It makes the 747 look so graceful, as if its floating...... | |
I really don't want to be the passenger on one of these 2 aircrafts ! great photo! | |
Crash waiting to happen! | |
It's amazing | |
They really do look like they´re touching each other! T.B. | |
Amazing ! | |
Oh my god! I got scared to hell. It looks like the 747, well lets just say its rear end sorta spurted out some gas! :)^_^(: Nice shot! | |
Thats amazing, Im shocked there isnt more of these | |
What an illusion! | |
Nice | |
WOW...great shot. | |
The apparant closeness is a very eye-catching effect. | |
Awesome shot | |
What might passengers think in both planes when seeing another plane so close? | |
I love boeing aircraft! | |
Great Shot | |
Wow, terrific picture.. Go Ben! | |
Who's gona land first????????????? | |
At first i thought this is "hap-sung", which means "modified photo" in Korean. :) | |
Wow it is fun to see two of my favorite aircraft = - )))) | |
Simpy breathtaking. Great photography. Almost like siamese twins. | |
WOW!!!!! Very Cool it really looks like the two aircraft are just a couple of feet apart great photo Ben. | |
Imagine being in that UA752 seeing a giant LH 744 right beside you! | |
It really looks like those aircraft are going to collide.I hope the Lufthansa 455 was all right after its oil leak this is a really special photo and my congrats go to Ben .Merry Christmas!!!!-James | |
Impressive shot! | |
Just... WOW!!!! | |
This is called the real Star Alliance!! Superb Photo! | |
Great photo | |
If you see it the first time,you think they are really near to each other but it`s not true!! Unbelievable picture!! | |
INCREDIBLE!!! AWESOME!!!U're great Ben! | |
Incredible they appear to be shagging | |
How rare it is and the illusion it creates | |
Loved how the planes appear side-by-side! I wonder how far behind the 747 is? | |
Smart shot but a great photographer. its the planning that counts | |
Nice shot. Chevere! Imagine each pax. windows planes !!!! | |
It looks like they're buddies! | |
Great shot. | |
Can't find a better angle | |
At first I thought that it's some kind of a new plan. Very good shoot. My congratulations for the idea. | |
WOW, wierd! | |
Very beautiful | |
How if these aircraft collide with each other?! | |
It looks like they are taking a family photo. "Get a little closer guys, thats it, that's it, SNAP" It seems the 747 has his wings on the shoulder of the 757. Really nice photo | |
Shot of a lifetime,ben, and so timely with soia/prm being introduced on the 28s at sfo,which will mean intersecting approaches under radar surveillance in poor weather with a last minute turn for the plane on28r,aphoto opportunity there maybe, mick west,england | |
Great photo "i would be rather scared beeing in that 757" | |
One of those rare shots you could wait years to get. Well done, Ben. The right place at the right time! | |
Just Marvellous | |
Hey i thought pilot of united airlines is saying,"give me 100000$ otherwise i will get in the german one". hey don't mind jus kiddin;-) | |
Very good picture take at the right time. You can almost imagine the pilot sticking his head out and say "Can you please tell me the right direction too Germany" | |
Looks like a race. The perfect time to take it. Great photo Ben Wang! | |
What a shot! it took a while for me to figure this one out! | |
That scared the bit jesus out of be when I saw the preview picture on the frontpage until I read the comment. Danil Premgi. | |
Just amazing. Excellent shot. | |
Amazing! I wouldn't have noticed the rudder had I not seen the comment. I wonder if any of the passengers captured the moment on film? | |
Remarkable! | |
Nice picture, I wondered what the people in the plane thought when they looked outside. | |
That picture was cool | |
Good job, ben! | |
I have rated the photo with five stars because when I saw it I thought that the two aircrafts (the b747 and b757) had touched each other. So the site from where the photo had been taken was the best it could be. | |
Nice and lucky shot. Anyway Ben Wang has valued this scene at its top! | |
