HMOG!!! It sure looks low, though you have to have one heck of a good camera/lens to get the focus sharp at the right moment!

I also noticed that. The camera is focused on the Hornet and the appartment building is vague. My guess would be that he already focused on the jet before it passed the building and used some sort of continuous shooting mode.
