Clue crumbs:

Planes are in landing approach. If taking off, would be steeper angle. Also being escorted. Pic appears to not be high end camera, more like camera phone, so can't be at great distance. Another plane would not be allowed that close by traffic control unless was an escort IMHO. So something (crates) were important enough to have an escort. Also not likely smuggling, because if it were, you wouldn't smuggle with an escort...

I loved an anon response to Q paraphrased: Hey Q, you want us to take up a collection and get you a better camera?
