I was sent this email, it said these were from the Int'l Space Station which
I dispute. Yes the photos are very high but IMO a photo from the space
station would show the curvature of Earth as well as the sky being to blue
in these photos. Still a very neat picture!

Anyone know what aircraft these were taken from?

Yes, as I supposed, some of those messages from the last round are
still up on my server.

Subject line: "Shuttle Launch from International Space Station"

I was mistaken, you are all correct. Apparently those shots were not
from
the Space Station (which orbits at about 220 miles altitude), but
instead
from a high altitude aircraft (from about 12 miles up). Sorry about
the
confusion. These were taken from NASA's WB-57 at 60,000 feet.
