Formation Flying for Jet Airplanes747 & 757 close call formation flyers...
A Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 are on a simultaneous landingon the parallel runways 28L and 28R at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO).Real runway separation is 225 meters. Due to the Jumbo being 3 times larger thanthe 757 and being behind gives us this fantastic optical illusionseeming to fly too near together...
