I noticed that too but did you also see how neither is aligned with the CL? And look at the 747's rudder. Maybe they're both doing a rolling IFR check.N2212R said:What's great is the "professional" pilot isn't on the taxi CL, but the FLIB is.
Maybe that's the b****. But the use of the telephoto lens foreshortens the depth of field to make it look like the 747 is crawling up the 172's behind. Actually, they are maybe 1/5th sm apart.Troy Whistman said:Somebody's got a fast shutter. The Cessna's prop looks stopped.
I know! I know! (I just asked on another thread somewhere...)Richard said:I noticed that too but did you also see how neither is aligned with the CL? And look at the 747's rudder. Maybe they're both doing a rolling IFR check.
What I don't understand is just who is life a b**** for in this pic? What is a FLIB?
hahahahahahaha That's good! I saw in one of the other comments and I agree, from the position of the photographer, it doesn't even look like the 747 pilot can even see the Cessna...and damn, those planes are flippin' huge!!! They don't look that big when they're next to 777's, L1011's, DC-10's and other airliners. Nothing like a visual comparison such as this to re-enforce that.NickDBrennan said:LOL - I'm picturing it now:
"Kalita 2777, taxi to runway 24, follow the skyhawk."
"What skyhawk?"
