To the non-nerds viewing, from the roundels it is a Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) F-16, carrying what look like Netherlands Royal colours.

As very cool as that was.. Surely that's illegal?
I had a cool landing at SFO today:

An EVA Airways Boeing 777-300, registration B-16701 performing flight BR-28 from Taipei (Taiwan) to San Francisco,CA (USA), was on final approach to San Francisco's 28L being cleared to land when the aircraft descended to about 600 feet about 3.8nm before the runway threshold (about 600 feet below glidepath, remaining glidepath angle 1.5 degrees instead of 3 degrees), tower warned the aircraft "climb immediately, altitude alert, altimeter 29.97", the crew initiated a go-around and positioned for another approach, that concluded in a safe landing about 13 minutes later.

The flying was illegal or me having my phone on recording? If you're talking about the latter, then pfft. It was in Airplane Mode. I rarely go to the trouble of fully turning off my phone, despite the requests of the flight attendants.

That's pretty awesome. I've seen another video of such a landing at SFO on reddit a while back.
Is there a reason they let two planes land simultaneously like that? As far as my understanding goes, commercial planes don't usually do formation flying, and that is pretty damn close they are flying to each other. Wouldn't it be safer to maintain separation and have them land in a kind of "zipper" pattern?
