Reversed image
[edit]As noted by recent comments with sources, this image is reversed. It's trivial to undo that, shall I? Hohum (talk) 17:58, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
This photo was captured by a camera at the rear of the airplane. It was designed to look straight down. A mirror was added, which allowed the camera to capture to the rear. This is why there is confusion. Sternfels describes this fully in a youtube video:
