That's actually a myth. Telephoto lens does nothing but crop. You can take a wide angle lens, crop it, and you will get exactly the same image (minus the resolution) you would get with a telephoto lens. You can easily try it out yourself.

Besides, you can compare the height of that "person" to Vstab. The person lands behind the buildings far away from the taxying plane, yet it's the same size as the stab? Dead giveaway that it's fake.
