Overtaking a Lufthansa Cargo MD11 (air-to-air video)
Crossing the North Atlantic on NAT tracks has aircraft in the same direction separated by 1000' instead of the usual 2000' which makes for some great views. We were at Flight Level 310 and travelling at mach 0.84 only about 10-15kts faster than the MD11 which I guess was flying at 0.82. Unfortunately they didn't have cameras.

The view from the front is sooooo much better than any of the side viewa... Oh and that is where the volume control is too.
I also liked the video, but think it is cool that you were in a 747-8
Outstanding Chip, thanks for sharing. A reminder of the old adage "A stern chase is a long chase!".
