Aviation Photo #0841968 Airbus A319-114 - Northwest Airlines

I love the angle of this shot!! close call for the captain of the dc9

Awww, the Mother and Baby plane. I love this shot too... hardly any chance to see 2 "loving, cuddling" planes any day. Luckily little to no injury that time.

Yeaaah this is awesome !! Lucky it was just DC9, I wonder if it was boeing 747, this airport probably exist no more today!!

Ohh! nice shot. Compare the dc9 and the a319 the dc9 is pretty smaller!

This was hilarious to me-but doesn't the a319 look waay bigger? or maybe it's just the perspective...this was yet another desktop for me

I didn't imagine that the DC-9 was so small

Flight sim meets reality. This is an unfortunate event, yet it provided us with a glimpse of a perspective that we had only seen in flight sim.

Ahh, that hurts!

Best Friends.

Never thought of how small the DC9/MD-80s are, so this shot gave me some perspective. And it does look a bit cuddly, doesn't it?

NIce catch

It is mostly that the DC9 is much lower than the A320 series, and the angle, which does not allow us to see the length of the DC9 properly. Also keep in mind that the A320 series (certainly relatively speaking) stands pretty high on its legs; the fuselage towers above any 737 too... this was nicely visible at United's Fleet week in October 2011, when CO's and UA's retrobirds were parked nose to nose at SFO. (Of course the 737 tail is relatively high and in the end they both reach about 12 meters...)
