I often point out to passengers in similar situations like this whilst holding that when two aircraft are banking in a turn the lateral distance between the aircraft looks very little. But in fact the aircraft are seperated vertically by at least 1000ft. It can be very deceiving even when airbourne, you have to trust your instruments and TCAS. Doesn't the aircraft on the right look slightly higher?
