[QUOTE="RetCapt, post: 823065, member: 7102"] Excellent write up on your tour! Good photography work as well... Your photos of the San Francisco airport brought back some memories from my flying days. It's not uncommon for the controllers in the Bay area to vector two airplanes pretty close together. They get mutual visual confirmation from each plane, get 'em lined up on final, and cut 'em loose visually. Several times I'd be coming down final at a distance of a few hundred feet left-to-right distance, and sometimes exactly beside another plane! One plane or the other would usually move ahead of the other since the airspeeds are seldom exactly the same. (Passengers that didn't fly much probably got their heart rates up a bit!) Just like flyin' formation in my military days! Yee haw! [/QUOTE]
