In any case, FatFreddy's approach was wrong from the get go because of lens distortion, and he executed it in wildly erroneous ways, while displaying on the go that he understands next to nothing about geometry, arithmetic and photo imaging. And no math involved.
I applaud you in realizing the futility of this exercise. There is also a clear understanding of your frustration with FastFreddy. Comparing measurements from a .jpg or some other captured image is not an amateurish adventure. I have witnessed hours upon hours of analyzing only to see the Geomatics Engineer ask for an updated keyhole image because they were 7 inches off...I understand that lens distortion is significant, and that the image plane (or its normal, the direction that the camera is pointed towards), plays a role there.

While I'm sure fatfreddy88 copies and pastes others' work without checking it, he also links to his own posts on other forums and under different names, as if those are some kind of proof of something.
For those who don't know, some of his other names are Rocky, DavidC, Scott and Cosmored. Any time he posts linkbarf it's mostly to his own threads elsewhere. I've followed them around and once managed to describe a complete circle from link to link.
Ferociously and randomly.
Yeah, it couldn't possibly be that you weren't very clear with your constant spamming of links.
If you would take the time to actually LOOK (which I doubt you will) you would see that BOTH 24% and 32% are correct, just like he said. 47 is 24% smaller than 62 and at the same time 62 is 32% bigger than 47. As he said, it depends on what you set as 100. Is it 47 or 62? Math isn't your strong suit is it?
Yes, but he's sufficiently arrogant about it, so it's all good.
The windows are still intact. A wing would have at least broken the windows.

Is it just me or does the aircraft look more clearly identifiable in the corrected picture?
It's not just you, as soon as I saw that image I thought the same thing.
Careful though. In the original, the visible parts of the plane occupy only a few pixels, and there is not much contrast in them. Distorting (or undistorting) the photo manipulates the pixels and at best preserves what little real information there is, but more usually diminishes the signal.
Still, I would be interested to see what the image of the plane from the other camera would look like through the same process, perhaps with the frame just before the plane appears in the field for comparison.
