OK, you asked for it! Here is a section of the FlightAware RADAR track for UPS 902 MD-11 eastbound from Hawaii into Ontario CA, plotted using Google Earth from the 10th floor Long Beach location of Rick Warren, who took the series of ten digital still frames. I highlighted the photographed positions of the A/C, and indicated where images from the video match them exactly. And the video and still photos A/C positions overlay the recorded RADAR track of UPS902 exactly. (BTW, I worked from the FlightAware data and Warren's RAW digital image data, which includes lens focal length for each shot (for magnification compensation).

FlightAware RADAR track log for UPS flight 902 on 08 NOV 10:

What else can I do to make your day?
