Pretty good operating theory, actually.
Something’s been puzzling me about that in-flight photo of the jet blue plane that I haven’t seen addressed.
The photo was most certainly taken from a nearby jet, however normal fight patterns would not allow two commercial flights to fly at the same altitude, parallel and in this close proximity, at this altitude.
So who took the photo? Why was another jet flying this close to the plane? Was it taken from a CAP/Mil jet on an intercept? If so, why was CAPbMil flying next to this jet blue flight?
