  3. It was actually confirmed that the last one was an illusion too, with the nearer plane being much smaller than the far (DHL) one, making them appear similar sized and therefore near each other in the pic.

  7. Jake…ys, they are different planes, cos they’re different pictures taken at different times?!
    The two UA planes are the same colour, one in shade the other in bright light.
