Are you impaired? The airplane is approaching the camera. The camera is
looking up at the airplane. The bottom of the frame contains the distant
background. Objects farther than the airplane appear lower in the frame.
If the camera was above the approaching airplane and looking down at
it, distant objects would appear higher in the frame than the airplane.
None of which refutes what I said.

Oh, it was simply interesting to you that the vortex goes off into the
distance, right out the bottom of the picture.


No. That shows that the air continues to move downward far below the
small portion of the vortex which is moving up.


No it doesn't. Perspective shows nothing. If the camera was above the
approaching airplane and looking down at it, the picture would show that
the air continues to move upward far above the small portion of the
vortex which is showing up.

LOL

Perspective would show the same amount of movement at greater and
greater distances as less and less absolute distance on the picture.

But the downward flow goes right off the bottom of the page...

You're talking about a vanishing point. Has nothing to do with this.

Because the viewer is looking up at it!

Look!!!
