Notes:

With UA 757 N509UA. The two planes appear to be touching! The 757 is on final for 28L while the 747 is for 28R. The runways are 750 ft apart, so there is still plenty of room between them. Incidentally, Lufthansa 455 is seen here returning to SFO due to an oil leak and eventual shutdown of the number 2 engine. Note rudder is deflected to the right compensating for the failed engine on the left side.

At a glance this pair looks like they're trying to emulate the Blue Angels. Optical illusion! Yes, it is evident that the heavy has one engine down looking at the rudder position. Super shot Mr. Wang!!
