The size of the aircraft's shadow on the ground will be identical to its actual span and length, but the apparent size in the photo is about 90%, so the camera must be at approximately ten times the altitude of the aircraft.

The neighbourhood the aircraft is overflying is just under a mile from the threshold, so that would put the camera at around 3000', if my maths is correct.
