Aviation Photo #2123477 Boeing 737-8FE - Virgin Australia Airlines

Brilliant!
One of the best photos I have seen uploaded to the database!
Congrats, mate!

AMAZING pic......too close for comfort in case of aborted landing for the other aircraft..KUDOS to Seth for his fantastic photography!!!

The ATC must've given the clearance in a heartbeat.

Nice capture:)

Seems rather too close to me.

Reduced runway separation minima. Been there, done that

Fantastic timing... poor judgement from ATC

Quite amazing, crystal clear photography - should one assume that to keep within ATC minima etc, the runway is quite long?

Efficiency

Hum hum... Talk about minimum distance... Very close call! Definitely not something you should see to often! Nice angle!

Simply awesome man..

Great Stuff Seth,Awesome shot with perfect timing.

Cheers Mark

"3 Bravo Tango, the wind. Is. Two. Seven. Zero. Degrees. That's westerly. At. One. Five. Knots. The. Runway. Iiissss. Two. Fiiive. And. Made. Of. Asphalt. Aaaand. Yoooouuu... Arrrrrrrrrrrre....Cleartoland!" Busy training airfield, got stuff like that ALL the time. :)

Love this shot! I could be wrong, but I believe the regulations state that the departing aircraft must be at least one mile down the runway AND AIRBORNE before the arriving aircraft crosses the runway threshold. So if the arrival is just at the threshold all looks good to me!

This is a cool photo. 2 737s in one photo :)

What if the rotating aircraft had to do aborted takeoff procedure?

Awesome picture and a great example of ATC pushing some tin. Gutsy call on ATC's part.

Good job ATC. In the U.S. all they need is 6000 ft airborne turned to avoid conflict.

I've seen 2 planes on the runway at once at NZAA

Proves that whole "somewhere around the world a 737 lands or takes off every 5 seconds" what a shot! 73's look so good!
