As for the planes, I sent my guess in via PM. It was more than that, but quite a bit less than the source states. From the picture the best that could be hoped for is a ratio like the JAL plane is 25% higher, or 75% higher, or similar as we have no way to judge the altitude. The answer as stated would have made the lower plane about 30,000+ feet up and that just seems like way too good of resolution for a handheld shot.  |
Yes, the 'pod' reference is to the supposed missile carrier on one of the planes that hit the WTC 2 tower. I am, of course, being rather tongue-in-cheek sarcastic.
My answer of 2500 feet is my guess-timate of the vertical separation of the two a/c. I was assuming the larger craft was a 767 and the lower one an A310.

I don't know. Probably at least a thousand feet. What does that have to do with the issues I've raised?

It is relevant because the aircraft in this photo are very much in focus and clear despite being very much farther away from the camera and taking up much more of the frame than the plane in the still you keep posting and claiming is in focus and very clear. If you cannot determine the separation between these two aircraft then how the hell can we believe you when you say you can tell how large the plane in the Pentagon pic should be?
You have to have a distance from the camera before you can state how big the image should be. Others have explained this to you and have asked for your analysis (the math, the math) that shows that this could be something as small as an F-4. Your refusal to offer any analysis other than "its obvious" is an admission that you have absolutly no idea how to go about doing it and that your own opinion is at best a wild guess.
