    This is some photo, taken over Belgium. The bmiBaby is actually 2,000 ft lower than the Tu, but it's amazing how close they look!

    I assume that is landing at San Francisco (SFO) great location for some wonderful shots. Search "airliners.net" and "SFO" and you will see loads of these.

    its a cool picture alright, but to be honest it happens every hour of the day in the airspace over belgium, as its over belgium that quite a large amount of london inbounds and london outbounds fly so pictures like this happen all the time they are just not photographed. and as the site says it was taken by a zoom lens which would magnify the T-154 slightly..

    The idea of photography is to capture these events so that us mere mortals who do not see this kind of thing can jaw drop :)
