In case you noticed the American Airlines 767 in the bottom right-hand corner of the banner picture, this photograph was taken at 9,500 feet while I was flying over the Miami Class Bravo airspace. The AA flight was probably a good two-thousand feet below me, on its way to land at MIA. We were both talking with ATC, but on separate frequencies, so I didn’t hear ATC tell AA to watch for the tiny plane at his 10 o’clock.
