You suburbanites need to become more tolerant of noise.
Big city people could live 50 feet from a subway track and not be woken up by it.

If suburbanites wanted to live within 50 feet of a subway, guess where they would live?

Can you post the picture?

Some trig/calc fun could tell us exactly how high he was.

You'd likely need to angles, taken at the same time, to figure that out.

For sure. That could be used by finding distance between an object in the picture such as a tree. It won't be a perfect estimate but can get close.

He already did. A mighty fine shot, I will add.

And with my (junior edition) Stephen Hawking internet forum detective physics and picture analyzer kit, I have deducted from the picture that it was approximately 28.5 feet off the ground (slightly below roof height, of an assumed 3 story house) going approximately 300mph (3 swooshes).

I'd like to see it, know if she was using zoom? We'd could at least get an idea. Blur out the numbers though.
