In a real show of control and piloting excellence, this duo of American and United Airlines made a side-by-side landing with ease.

The wait for the ‘runway taxi to be clear’ is a pain most fliers have felt, with airlines needing to ensure that the planes have a free line to take off and land.

Never do you see two planes hurtling at hundreds of miles an hour while being just a few meters apart?

That is, unless you’ve seen the video above, where an American and United Airlines duo pulled off an incredible side-by-side landing.
