Let’s face it, this week was rough.
It started with the Global Observer crash, then quickly moved to the Southwest 737-300 fuselage rupture, Gulfstream G650 crash, the discovery of Air France 447 and the United A320 emergency landing in New Orleans, that guy invented an emergency to land on Rockaway Beach for fun, and now the US government may shut down tonight.
So, it was time for a bit of a change of pace. This is the aviation equivalent of your first sip of beer at the end of a bad day. The title of the post says it all, so just soak in a Virgin Galactic’s WhiteKnight Two flying along side a Virgin America Airbus A320 off the coast of California.
Put your feet up, take a moment to relax and soak it in.
The parallel runway landing at San Francisco International Airport is below the fold.
