Is it possible that the 5 planes in "Too close for comfort?" are actually all the same plane, taken in different photos? They all look the same, and if whatever was taking the aerial photos was travelling at the same speed and direction as the plane, then it could be possible.

Yeah, that's the same plane. There's shots like that at a few airports around.

We also featured a few other examples of Cirque Du Soleilon GGSS a while ago.
