No way that Air traffic control would let those planes get that close to each other.

[–]Chairboy 2 points3 points ago

Well this is awkward... no, it's not. It was taken by a NASA employee who was a passenger on another NASA plane:

[–]g_muney 1 point2 points ago

uh should planes be flying this fucking close?

[–]Duhza 2 points3 points ago

they should not be it is illegal for planes of this size to fly this close. this photo is defiantly photoshoped

[–]Chairboy 4 points5 points ago

You're mistaken. I'm a pilot and here's the applicable law:
FAR 91.111: “Operating near other aircraft. (a) No person may operate an aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard. (b) No person may operate an aircraft in formation flight except by arrangement with the pilot in command of each aircraft in the formation. (c) No person may operate an aircraft, carrying passengers for hire, in formation flight.”

Please do not make statements of aviation law when you do not actually know the answer.

[–]SirSnipeZeLoT 2 points3 points ago

I'm a pilot and second this. Too many "experts" on here.

[–]xxxCAT 0 points1 point ago

That's actually a plane carrying a shuttle, the shuttle isn't flying independently.

[–]liquidpaperandbees -2 points-1 points ago

As a former air-traffic controller, I know for a fact this is shopped.

[–]Chairboy 1 point2 points ago

As a pilot, I respond 'unable' to your implied assertion that I take your word for it that this is shopped.

[–]Silently_judging -2 points-1 points ago
