It looks nice. I love the clouds behind the 747 and the other aircraft.

That’s caused by the tips of the wings. Those clouds are known as wing vertices.

shouldn't the second plane in the pattern have it landing gear down lol ?

No. The 747 has its gear down because it’s much heavier or something but anyways they go down earlier. The second plane could be about six miles out.

That’s Heathrow, right?
@B767fan It’s pretty much pilot’s discretion.
Anyway, why do you call this “approach pattern”? I highly doubt those planes were doing touch and goes.

@Laurens, the airport is the pilots discretion?
No xD
When lowering the landing gear is pretty much the pilot’s discretion.
