This was a totally awesome video, thanks for posting. And when I imagine all the planes flying in formation during WWII, with all those contrails, my mind explodes.
@@joxepojoxepin2752 Tell that to the B-17 crews, the German AA crews and German fighter pilots who saw the bombers coming from miles away thanks to those contrails.
I'm so jealous, I wish I could've seen something like that. The closest thing I saw to that was when an A340-300 and A340-600 were flying together on one spring afternoon in 2013 similar to the air race in the video! Not to mention the 3rd plane in the beginning which I'm almost certain is an A330.
Piestany, in Slovakia, is a great place for spotting these heavy aircraft, as there is an air corridor over this town. Jets flying from Frankfurt (Germany) or London (UK) use this air corridor to reach destinations in Asia.
MOST EPIC Plane Spotting VIDEO EVER!!! How on earth did you capture them at the same time...... It's beyond me! That too, Airlines from the same country, neighboring cities. It's baffling. Lastly, aren't they flying a little tOOO close?
@jamesdarlington no lol. It only looked like it, because the 340 was a thousand feet under the 380, so as they flew away from the camera they seemed to overlap.
A few years ago flying back to the UK from Mallorca , there had been a 4 hour delay due to hold ups in the UK . The pilot jokingly we thought , told us that " he'd had his foot down on the way over and would do so on the way back" to try to make up some time . When the plane had achieved its cruising altitude there was no sign of engines being throttled back and the journey time was cut by 20 /25 minutes . So I guess its a matter of fuel economy rather than speed not actually a race .
@pgergely13 They are in fact not flying the same flight level,standard separation is 1000ft vertically, and the reason why the contrail seems to last longer on the higher and faster airplane, is because the temperature is about 2 degrees Celsius colder where the faster higher altitude airplane is located. Therefore, the ice crystals from the vapor jetting out of the engines, take longer to melt and dissipate, as compared to the lower, slower airplane.
@kidcaptian Look carefully at 1:16; the two planes and contrails are IDENTICAL in size and they're practicly touching each other! Even if they are 2000 feet apart, the FAA standards state a two-mile minimum distance vertically at cruising altitude.

The A340 obviously has less drag on the body. Both aircraft seem quite close... what's the required minimum distance between commercial aircraft? Is it 3000ft?
@kidwalker I think these are be normal contrails by looking at the wide view at the start of the video. I agree that chemtrails should be stopped as well.
When recording using a camera with a large amount of zoom, the distances between 'objects' is greatly foreshortened. This is why the aircraft appear so close to each other, but in reality of course, they will all be separated by at least 1000 ft.
Hi! Do you allow me to download this video & embed it in a QR code? I'm writing a book and this video will be of a great help to explain contrails. Waiting for your reply, thanks.
@rock853okg You would be making a correct observation if, the A-340 was deviated from flying the same course as the A-380, keep in mind that the A-340 is approximately, 1000 ft. higher than the other. If the A-340 indeed began a descent, Air Traffic Control would have made the A-340 deviate from its course, the reason being is that lower altitude aircraft have the right of way and the higher one must alter its course in order to descend, thus, avoiding breaking separation regulations.
Neither of the aircraft in the footage are made by Boeing. One is an Airbus A380 and the other is an Airbus A340. In other words, there is nothing wrong with the title, other than the fact that the aircraft aren't actually 'racing' each other.
Why are two @civil@ aircraft flying so close together?? Usual culprits, as these fly in like fashion where I live in the UK. Lovely trails they leave behind to.
Awesome man, really cool, I wish i can make hot captures like this, I'll do it soon, What are the best places where i can capture some hot scenes like this one ?? Thanks!!
@EWLGtoday No they are not close at all. They will have about 1000ft of vertical separation. The appearance of being close is an illusion due to the use of a zoom lens and our unfamiliarity with the perspective of very distant objects. Take some photos of two objects at a distance from each other with with different zoom settings, and move the camera so that the closest object appears the same size in frame in both cases. Notice how the appearance of the second object changes greatly
It appears you don't know too much about air traffic control separations Robert, lol. 1000 feet is the minimum vertical distance that aircraft must be from each other in this type of situation, to be properly separated - which they obviously are. There is NOT going to be a 'midair collision' my friend, lol.
umm those planes seem practically transparent, i don't think my eyes would have seem them if it were not for the contrails=) Have a beautiful day. Great vid!!
The altitudes can be the same, so long as there is the required longitudinal separation in place. In many cases, this could be up to 20 miles or more, depending on the route and the type of airspace. Otherwise, a 1000 ft or 2000 ft vertical separation must be in place, depending on the airspace.
Looks like they are close and it might be true. But they have different flightlevel. Minimum in this case is 175 meters because planes have the same flightcourse.
Why do you mention a metric measurement of '175 meters'. Aircraft use feet as their vertical height. Incidentally, the required minimum vertical separation in this situation is 1000 feet, which is around 300 meters - where did you get '175 meters' from?
Great zoom and steady hands. Excellent video.
Steady hands is the Good condition to compare. 😁
Yes he is right

No contrails in ww2, only jet engines do contrails.

should be an a320 or a b737

How close we're they its looks quite close to me
Wow, mega zoom... You see shoes in aircraft, regards from Mexico City.

What is the distance between each aircraft because they look very close to each other .
There will be a minimum of 1000 feet vertical separation between each of the aircraft concerned.

@ultragor It's just an illusion. They are like over 2000 ft apart vertically.
Absolutely brilliant! I'm so jealous :)
Thank you for the video! I love it!
what cam did you use?
at 0:03 the slide clearly says Boeing race over Baghdad, this video is wrongly titled as A380 & A340(Air Race) and misleading.
Neither of the aircraft in the footage are made by Boeing.
One is an Airbus A380 and the other is an Airbus A340.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with the title, other than the fact that the aircraft aren't actually 'racing' each other.
@willieoo they was probaboy give or take 5,000 feet apart. It does look close but if you was up there it wouldnt look that close.
A340 should win cuz its a lighter plant than the a380. It weighs 500 tons and the a340 is 400 tons. But a380 has a more powerful engines than the a340
Ahmad Sayyed I agree!
Ahmad Sayyed it’s a plane ✈️ not a plant 🌱
the weight doesn´t appx. the speed. It´s just about the CI. A767 can also do .85 :D
that's awesome...the best video i've ever seen
who suppose determine the speed? air traffic contro or the pilot itself ?
The planes have speedometers. They both determine it actually.
Was that on purpose?
Why are two @civil@ aircraft flying so close together?? Usual culprits, as these fly in like fashion where I live in the UK. Lovely trails they leave behind to.
I guess vertical separation is the key here.
1000 feet is the minimum separation that air traffic controllers are able to use in situations such as this Jonathan.
The A340 passes the A380💀💀💀💀💀
Awesome man, really cool, I wish i can make hot captures like this, I'll do it soon, What are the best places where i can capture some hot scenes like this one ??

In many cases, this could be up to 20 miles or more, depending on the route and the type of airspace.
Otherwise, a 1000 ft or 2000 ft vertical separation must be in place, depending on the airspace.
They are flying at different flight levels. A380 at 32,000 feet, and the longer A340 at 36,000 feet for example.
Looks like they are close and it might be true. But they have different flightlevel. Minimum in this case is 175 meters because planes have the same flightcourse.
Why do you mention a metric measurement of '175 meters'. Aircraft use feet as their vertical height.
Incidentally, the required minimum vertical separation in this situation is 1000 feet, which is around 300 meters - where did you get '175 meters' from?
