Rainbow around the shadow of my airplane
Although rainbow is a multicolour bow of light coming from raindrops, this is only true for an observer standing on the ground. For an observer up in the air the rainbow is a multicolour full circle formed symmetrically by light comming from raindrops around this circle.
As for the shadow, in any case the sun must be behind the obsrver and the raindrops in front of him/her. So the the airplane was in the middle the sun was on the right of it and its shadow and a full circled rainbow on the left.
