This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Comparing the engine sizes or counting the windows really shows that the back plane is probably double the size of the front plane.

Cool illusion.

The one in back is a larger 737, the other is a smaller Embraer.

Definitely the windows, but recent planes have gone with huge turbines so it's not the most reliable tell. I don't know Airbus well but the turbines on a 737-800 or Mac are pretty big compared to a - 300 or A320
