Given that there are only some 124 C-5's and 150 C-17's, this looks like a big chunk of the USAF's cargo fleet all in one place.

And the first plane relates to the second shadow. How do they take these? From a high altitude airplane, is the best I can say. When it was done on film, back in the good old days it was done on a long pice of film, and the srea was photographed ina long strip. With the spy planes, the film could be a mile long.

So, that means that this plane was photographed five times. For the first two times you couldn't see the plane, and for the last one you couldn't see the shadow. But I don't think that you can only see the plane on the last one because the plane has climbed too high-- I think the same thing happened there that happened with the first two shadows. Could anyone fill me in on how they take these photos? Yeah, I was about to say so, Andy. So, that means that this plane was photographed five times.

All the shadows on the ground indicate that the sun is to the South West, throwing shadows to the North East. If that's the case, then the first two shadows in the sequence come from planes that have disappeared in the image-blending process, and the three visible planes cast their shadows up and right -- in which case the plane has climbed so high by the time of the last plane that its shadow is no longer visible.
