I was cruising at FL340 in a Delta A319 from MPVR to KATL and Iopened my window to get a pic of my view like I always do and I saw a plane come streaking by. After thinking for a bit, I concluded that the plane was a TUI 787!
I was on a Thomson 787-8 on Wednesday from STN to SFB and went to the back of the cabin I was sat in (the space inbetween the Premium Economy and Economy) and whilst waiting for the toilet to become available probably no more than 2,000ft below us I could make out a TAP Portugal A330. We were overtaking him. (ha)
Nice photos!
Check the definition of âNear miss.â He was a couple thousand feet above you. It was close, but not near miss.
I wouldnât call this a near miss. Iâd say you saw another aircraft from your aircraft. You all were at a safe distance, so saying a near miss is misleading.
Those are definitely no ânear missesâ
Notice that I put near miss in quotes
It hats mot that close. Whatâs close is when you see a plane 500 feet above you 1nm away!
Looks like you guys are on the same plane
I really wish I took a photo of a near miss I actually saw. I was on Zanair to DAR and we overtook this plane right in front of us. Same altitude, something that the FAA wouldnât like :P
I saw a Emirates B777-300ER over Indian airspace right next to use, it must have been really close the the minimum distance as I could make out what plane it was easily from the aisle seat
Yeah we are brothers they just kicked him out to a different row :) đđ
Joking,I was in a E190 or 175 I donât remember now like 3 weeks ago it wasnât near miss but was close :)
Come on, those are NOT near misses. You are probably at a major VOR intersection where large commercial airliners intercept and exchange routes like a roundabout. Not a near miss
Itâs funny how you call this near miss cause they ainât close enough to be called near miss anyways nice pictures!
I was on a IAA F100 and a plane passed so close to our one that I could even see all the lights
