"I know I had a mental breakdown. I know I had it in an airplane. I know it looks to you as if the same thing is happening again, but it isn't. I'm sure, it isn't. "

How high is that plane?

In western Massachusetts. Go in very close and you can actually make out a few of the windows on the left side in the first (leftmost) layer of the six shown.

My question is how high is the plane? Based on the GoogleEarth scale, it is roughly 1300 feet long. It should be closer to 200 feet long in reality.

I have never performed photogrammetry calcs, and I don't plan on starting.

What I will say is that the end of the measured line in this pic:

is 24 miles from the NW end of runway 15 at Bradley airport in Hartford, CT. I would think that a plane would not have achieved cruising altitude that close to the airport.
