This great photo taken by sven!! from airliners.net

Woudn't you find that scary?

yeah, i'd be thinking "I hope I don't run over that little plane in front of me"

on the caption it had priorites in life

Imagine what the Cessna pilot is thinking when he turns to look behind him........

yikes!

That cessna is seriously dwarfed againsn't the 747

nah he would be saying,, haha suckers

If I was the 747 pilot I'd have some fun...rev up the engines with the brakes slightly on to keep my speed down...that'd make him sweat

thats just a mean thing to do. You should at least get closer to it then do it.

Don't think your alowed to post photos like that in here Unless you have permission from the photographer.

Interesting photo, cr@p planning by the atc! gana be some unhappy pax on that aircraft, specialy if its a long taxi.

Yea neither did I think it was allowed. But you see people use pictures from airliners on lots of differnet sites.

There we go i said this great photo by sven from airliners.net.

amazing how even you "wanna be" pilots automatically assume its "cr@p planning" by ATC - how about the Dumbass cessna pilot that took the wrong taxiway or the poor cessna pilot that got a brake lockup or something -Oh NOOOO its cr@p planning by ATC - I can't wait until I have you sitting in the controllers seat and I am your instructor - then we will see what real stress and sweat is! you pilots see your own aeroplane and maybe one or two others and hear one or two frequencies - try sitting in a control room or tower some time listening to multiple radios running dozens of aircraft on split frequencies all saying "we can make number one" usually while we are short staffed, the weather is cr@p , half the taxiways are blocked off, management wants you to move double the number of aircraft while putting more restrictions on what you can and cannot say or do - all the time trying to get you all in and out as quickly and easily as possible with as little hassle as we can. Do it day in and day out for year after year and what will you get - "cr@p planning by ATC" but make one questionable move and it's 'oh yeah ATC ballsed it up-again!" well next time you fly and I recognise the voice you had better be holding 210% route fuel and Island holding reserve and don't forget to double check that route MSA and the 25nm min alt - you never know I might make a cr@p decision - involving a bl@@dy great hill!

yea You tell them Dr.Towerguy. Why you are a doctor i dont know.

zing!

Fair call, I was about to post something a little shorter but you have said it all! I dont have the nerve for ATC and it makes me admire those that do everytime I jump into the left hand seat.

But still some ATC people make mistakes.

I object to everyone saying it was a balls up by ATC, it was probably a good idea to put the 172 first, remembering that the 172, doesn't need to use full length, the 747 will, also the taxi speeds wont vary too much, and having the 172 take off first, means that no aircraft will have to be sittting on the ground due to wake turbulence....

and also the 747 would need to go to the back of the runway and the cessna needs like 10m of runway.
