B-6050 photographed at In Flight on Feb 22 by Sam Chui. I made a wish before the flight that day, hoping to see a A346 under our Cessna, and my luck didn't let me down. She took off late at 250pm, held under us about 1200 feet before enter the ocean. We were flying the LAX corridor at 3500 feet. Chances are so small to hit one of the heavy takeoff right under. Sorry about the quality, as it is incrediblely hard to shoot because of the movements and strong winds. Thanks to Duncan and Derek, this shot is for you guys, and hope many more A2A shoots to come in years! [Nikon D100]
