Here's one for you:

"Photos can be deceiving.
An incredible picture taken by a German aviation photographer.

A Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 are on a simultaneous landing

approach on the parallel runways 28L and 28R at SFO.

Real runway separation is only 225 meters.

Due to the telephoto distortion, the Jumbo 747 being 3 times larger
than
the 757 and being behind it, gives us this fantastic optical illusion
seeming
to fly so near together...ostensibly inches from each other!"
