As has been pointed out earlier in the thread the photo was taken with a deceiving telephoto lens and doesn't look like that in the flesh. Not during my 100+ approaches into SFO in a 744 anyway.
What can I say - I have been there in a 744 (on the flight deck, in the RHS) and it looked remarkably like that, except that he was a medium jet (737/MD8x/A320 type), and as such was relatively smaller visually, but importantly just as close.

Maybe in your 100+ approaches (more than my 30 or so) you have been fortunate?
