I was expecting the US-VISIT program to be the highlight of my flight through San Francisco, but I got to take these photos instead. Quite the surprise.
As we were coming in to land I noticed another plane, way below us. I was listening to the flightdeck radio at the same time so knew that our plane was meant to "maintain visual contact" with an Air China Cargo flight. I didn't realise that meant a parallel landing, nor how close the planes would be to each other. I understand that it's normal practice (according to the pilot's reassuring announcements), but still quite the sight to see.
