Wow. Unusual sight. It remind me a picture with of a Dash8-200(?)landing and close to it a duck (again?)leaving the path of the aircraft. It was written; "Duck is number two for landing"

To get the timing of the picture just right is pretty difficult. Congratulations on being at the right moment at the right place and pressing the button. Congratulations

It is strange seeing a duck flying wingtip formation with a civil (or any) aircraft. I thought that either the airfield would be cleared of birds, etc, or they would be scared off by the engine noise, anyway!

Looks like a 100 meters-dash photofinish!! if I had seen this bird flying next to the landing a/c I¨d had thought I was on hidden camera or something like it.

Nice Picture! Indeed for the comment down there about the wake turbulence the duck may cause to the 737

Love the pic.
BTW.: The duck is more efficent, quieter and nearly free of emission (merely some 'blue ice') - will we ever learn to be so good in flying?

Imagine the engineers 100's of years ago trying to design aircraft seeing this picture. There are some significant similarities with the front of the aircraft and the bird's head. Spectacular shot!
