Strange Tu-154, Pulkova Airport, St Petersburg.
Anyone with Google Earth, have a look at Pulkova airport, specifically 59:47:53 N and 30:12:58 E.
Is the Tu-154 low flying, parked on the grass or is it an error on the photograph?
Aviate1138 thinks,
The satellite imaging system seems to produce a double image of highly reflective objects such as a Tu-154.
Some aircraft visible have greater separation between the 'real' aircraft and the bluer double image version.
EIDW has a twin on approach /threshold of runway 10
Greater image separation my be due to where the object is in relation to the lens centre. I think the closer to the centre point the closer the two images. More distortion at the lens edges.
