during a normal training flight, ground control told me there was a Delta 757 in the neighbourhood with some problems. the pilot got sick and i had to help the unexperienced co-pilot to land the heavy. i guided him to rwy 7 right at KLAX. we both landed safe.

a man on the ground was able to take this amateur photo's...

nice, looks like the 757 is having some question about where the runway is in the last shot ;)

Bman, where the 757 is in relation to the f16 in the last shot, the pilot wouldn't even be able to see the f-16, although a TCAS would be going crazy ;D
