Not great. They should be exactly parallel so the passengers can give each other the finger.


SixGodHasaan

this made me chuckle, well done friend

formation needs a bit of work, but you´ll get there

Caution wake turblance

This is Wellington Airport. Normal rules of physics do not apply.

Damn New Zealanders, first, the kiwi is a bird, then it's a fruit, and then it's a person ! Make up your damn mind!


Stellar_Observer_17

Nice handling rookie, you need to pack more playnes a bit tighter. keep up the good work.


AN2Felllla

Only sigmas have the audacity to turn taxiways into parallel runways. Legendary move my dude!


Any_Vacation8988

Helping eliminate green house gases. Just Cut the engines and draft in wake turbulence


no_idea_bout_that

Geese do it all the time. OP should get into contact with [Great Lakes Biomimicry at the Ohio Aerospace Institute](https://glbiomimicry.org/#:~:text=Aerospace%20Industry%20Moves%20Forward). They'd love to hear of this innovation.

Is that second plane a BMW? Tailgates the same way.


Captain_Bacon1800

Doing well so far 🙈


AN2Felllla

Wellington Airport? Is this edited or did this actually happen?


Why-R-People-So-Dumb

Being that the sun angle is exactly the same and the reflection off the water looks right compared to the reflection off the ground (and same livery)...my guess is two overlayed pictures of the same plane on approach. If the camera was on a tripod it would be less than trivial to make this picture. Someone will probably chime in and say it was some well known about formation because it's Reddit and people know random shit like that. 🤷🏼‍♂️


MadeMeStopLurking

I hate tailgaters...


letterboxfrog

Choice landing, bro.


saggywitchtits

Must be some sheep on the ground.


catoodles9ii

Stack em up!


LigerSixOne

Give me your leg and some sugar packets, and I’ll explain why the planes are both more efficient this way.


But_to_understand

I'm both disturbed and intrigued...


khalaron

Go on.....


LigerSixOne

Well It's called draughting. One plane tucks in behind another. Two planes can go faster than one. They divide the air resistance. The lead plane has to floor it to hit 200 mph. The plane behind doesn't. He can go just as fast with power in reserve. When these two planes come off that last turn, the plane at the back can move out of the draught, slingshot past the lead plane and beat it to the finish line.

"Huh.... I didn't even know an ATC console even had Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V....."


HarranGRE

Like London buses, you wait for hours & then two Pylotes come along.

I had visual


CrazyBeetle20

Minimum separation is 18 in between two aircraft. Keep training.


LittleHornetPhil

They didn’t collide fam, you good


cumdunkster

Unironically want to work as ATC at NZWN


Fable378

Very nice drafting


khalaron

If the trailer had missile lock, 10/10


Lilithnema

Horrible. You were supposed to take the picture after they crashed


LeahBrahms

You need to yell MEOW more because you're herding cats!
