I have just had the most craziest thing happen to me…
Was doing a flight from LAX to SFO, everything was going fine as I was on course, had the runway in sight and speed was good. I had just contacted SFO Tower and accpeted landing clearence, it stated “Number 1” for landing on 28R, and then just before I reached the runway, I noticed a large shadow behind me, and as the image shows, an MD-80 flew directly over the top of me, and came into land on 28R! Just as I touched down, the tower instructed me to do a ‘go-around’, but because there was such a small distance between the two aircraft, I ended up ramming the MD-80 up the behind, literally!
Bet I won’t be able to re-create it again, but by jove it was an interesting experience! 😀

Cloud_9, if you want to resize your pictures you should download this

I’ve had that happen to me once or twice before as well. You need to download the add-on that somebody recently – AIsmooth. It will stop this from happening as well as “go-arounds” by placing either your aircraft or AI traffic into a holding pattern.

Picture’s a bit small.
Yeah, sorry, but the file size is 400kb, max to upload is 300kb, so I had to reduce it, but didn’t know how to make it any bigger than it is… 😮
If you strain your eyes for a few seconds, you should be able to make it out.

Doesn’t an attached picture usually enlarge when you click on it? It seems to not do it in this thread.
