Many years ago I was sitting in the co-pilot's seat of a 6 seater (can't 
remember what specific plane it was) when we had a near miss with a 
Jumbo which was climbing steeply from take off, right across our path.

Neither the pilot nor I actually recognised it as a Jumbo. It all 
happened so fast.
