Parallax of Planes Perfectly Positioned

On Feb 23, 2021, over Indio, Calif., United Airlines 374 from LAX to IAD was at 35,000 feet, and Alaska Airlines 2316 was descending to SLC from SAN, and was at 33,000 feet when they appear to cross paths. This was shot at 600mm and cropped. I was surprised to find the result, and that they appear to be much closer than they actually are.
