I think we're seeing a bit o' foreshortening from a telephoto lens.

...We *know* this. Still, it's a hilarious photo.

Could you guys see/read the Cyrillic charcaters/letters on the screen? Or
did it just come up as jibberish symbols?
Because they had the translated article (English) as well, but I thought
sending things actually in Ukrainian language is a stroke of genius.
And of course, there's plenty more where that one came from.

Andy Millman: What's happening with my script?
Darren Lamb: What script?
Andy Millman: The script I gave you two months ago.
Darren Lamb: Is it funny?
Andy Millman: You haven't read it?
Darren Lamb: What's it called?
Andy Millman: "When the Whistle Blows".
Darren Lamb: [writing] "When the W Blows".
Andy Millman: Don't just write "W" you'll forget what the W stands for.
Darren Lamb: "When the Wind Blows".
Andy Millman: "Whistle"!
Darren Lamb: Got it. "W" equals "Wind".
Andy Millman: "Whistle"!
Darren Lamb: [writing] "When the Whistle Blows".
Andy Millman: So that's done, I can forget about that, I've got my best man
on it. Just make sure the phone's plugged in.
Darren Lamb: You joke about it, it was uplugged for two days... no one
noticed. --Extras

well I do have cataracts and they may be getting worse. But you are so
funny. Most of the cyrillic alphabet looks exactly the same as the English
one. There are PLENTY OF cyrillic letters in this sentence alone!

sigh...But there are none actually represented in the picture in
question.

Sure there were. In the emblem NASA, on the tail end of the plane, there are
2 immediately recognizable Cyrillic letters. A and then another A.

When you read something, without context, you read it first in English and
when there are unknown symbols you decide it is a different language.
When I read something, I see slavic language first and then when I don't
recognize the word and or symbols, I try a different language.
The Cyrllic alphabet and the one used by the Western World has an abundant
amount of common symbols.
Have you ever tried to reprogram, manually, an English keyboard so a
Cyrillic user can use the same one? The 2 alphabets have more in common
than not. It took me longer to find the software and understand how it
works than it took me to actually reprogram the keyboard. It's just not
that different

don't do that, please
