Something interesting that I saw on FlightRadar24.com earlier today

Yep, 2 SFO-FLL flights on 2 different carriers arriving in tandem. Looks like the VX flight is lined up for runway 10R, which is strange, as they use Terminal 1 at FLL which is on the north side of the field. I guess the UA got cleared in first.

Interesting how UA left SFO 14 minutes before VX, yet they are going to arrive at virtually the same time. Maybe Airbeese are faster than 738s? (or a certain recently departed SubChat poster was driving the 738 and was slacking off) :)

The UA flight was traveling at 450 knots and the VA flight was traveling at 520 knots. Also, the UA flight flew 2,716 miles while the VA flight flew 2,661 miles.

Would it matter what runway an aircraft lands on and where the terminal is?

Aren't planes supposed to be spaced two miles apart?

Crashes that might have been murder.

In the enroute environment below 10,000 feet it's 3 miles laterally or 1,000 feet vertically, but this doesn't apply in terminal air space.
